ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is make-up cosmetic compositions containing powdered Phaffia yeast.
According to the present invention, the make-up cosmetic composition contains the powdered Phaffia yeast in an amount of 0.1 to 50% by weight based on the total amount of the composition. Said powdered Phaffia yeast is prepared by sterilizing Phaffia yeast by radiation sterilization or compressed steam sterilization, and then spray-drying the suspension containing the sterilized yeast. The Phaffia yeast employed in the present invention are Phaffia rhodozyma, astaxanthin-producing mutants, .beta.-carotane-accumulating mutants and white carotenoid pigments-producing mutants, of Phaffia rhodozyma. Because the make-up cosmetics according to the present invention employ the Phaffia yeast including its cell contents, they can provide the preference of using the active contents of the yeast without the complicated pre-treatment, which have been indispensable in the prior art, and exhibit excellent effects on color-expressions, color-retention, feel and spreadability, compared with the conventional compositions.
