<Test Example 1>
In Test Example 1, the effect of a combination of silica silylate and a sucrose fatty acid ester on a W/O type Pickering emulsion was confirmed.

(1) Production of Emulsion Compositions The aqueous phase and oil phase shown in Table 1 below were prepared, mixed, and emulsified to obtain emulsion compositions.

Here, Examples 1 to 6 are W/O type Pickering emulsions containing silica silylate (corresponding to the hydrophobic powder in the present invention) and sucrose fatty acid ester.
As Comparative Example 1, a W/O type emulsion composition (an emulsion composition that is not a W/O type Pickering emulsion) was prepared, which was produced using a surfactant (a silicone-based surfactant) instead of a hydrophobic powder.
Comparative Example 2 is a W/O type Pickering emulsion using hydrogen dimethicone-treated titanium oxide as another hydrophobic powder.
Comparative Example 3 contains silica silylate (corresponding to the hydrophobic powder of the present invention) but does not contain sucrose fatty acid ester.

(2) Evaluation Items and Evaluation Methods The produced emulsion compositions (W/O type Pickering emulsions or W/O type emulsion compositions) were subjected to the tests shown in Table 1. The results are shown in Table 1.

(2-1) Formation of a uniform cosmetic film without powder aggregation 0.1 g of the prepared emulsion composition was placed on a PMMA plate, and a coating film was prepared with a doctor blade to a thickness of 25 μm.
The resulting coating film was left to stand for 4 hours, and then visually observed by five evaluators specializing in the research and development of cosmetics, and rated on a three-point scale according to the following criteria.
◯: Almost no powder agglomerates were observed. △: A small amount of powder agglomerates was observed. ×: A large amount of powder agglomerates was observed.

(2-2) Effect of Inhibiting Coalescence of Emulsified Droplets Over Time Five evaluators specializing in research and development of cosmetics left the produced emulsion compositions to stand at room temperature for one week, and then observed them under an optical microscope to evaluate the degree of coalescence of emulsified droplets on a three-point scale according to the following criteria.
◯: No coalescence of emulsion droplets occurs.
△: A small amount of coalescence of emulsion droplets occurs.
×: A large amount of emulsified droplets coalesce.

(2-3) Moisturizing feeling on skin after application:
Five evaluators specializing in the research and development of cosmetics applied 0.16 g of the prepared emulsion composition to the face, and immediately after application, they performed a sensory evaluation on the moist feeling of the face on the following five-point scale. The results were shown as the total score of the five evaluators.
5: Very moist feeling.
4: Feels moist.
3: Not very moisturizing.
2: Almost no moist feeling.
1: No moist feeling at all.

(2-4) Free Evaluation by Evaluators The comparative examples were subjected to free evaluation by evaluators.
As a result of the free evaluation, it was found that Comparative Example 1 had a poor emulsification state and an uneven film, so the emulsion droplets were large and unstable from the beginning, and coalescence also occurred due to the unstable emulsion.
In addition, in Comparative Example 2, the emulsion state was poor and the film was not uniform, so the emulsion droplets were large and unstable from the beginning. It was also evaluated that coalescence occurred due to the unstable emulsion.
In addition, Comparative Example 3 was evaluated as having large, unstable emulsion droplets from the beginning due to poor emulsification and an uneven film. In addition, Comparative Example 3 was evaluated as having very poor cosmetic film uniformity due to the unstable emulsion and the occurrence of coalescence.

(3) Results and Discussion As a result of this test, it was found that by preparing a W/O type Pickering emulsion containing silica silylate (corresponding to the hydrophobic powder in the present invention) and a sucrose fatty acid ester, it is possible to provide a W/O type Pickering emulsion that is excellent in the ability to form a uniform cosmetic film and the ability to inhibit the coalescence of emulsified droplets over time.

The present invention can be applied to W/O Pickering emulsions.
