Skin care cosmetics and emulsions are related closely. The recent emulsion technology has advanced the quality of cosmetics, and cosmetics technology has advanced the study of emulsion. Therefore, cosmetic or emulsion researchers including the author were able to develop highly functional cosmetics by studying the chemical structure of oils and the form of emulsions which are both main factors for emulsion. As for the chemical structure of oils, a study has shown that a high polar oil with unique properties was synthesized, and applied to make‐up remover. This study was worthy of notice to connect the properties of the oil and emulsion with the organic conceptual diagram. As for the form of emulsion, it was reported that multiple type emulsion stabilized active ingredients and helped to permeate the skin markedly and employing a high‐pressure homogenizer brought even higher efficiency.
