Since single-color cosmetics were individually compression-molded in advance, the number of compression-molding machines required for each color of cosmetics was increased, the work space at the manufacturing site was increased, and running costs were high, resulting in product cost reductions. There is the problem of becoming expensive. Further, in the conventional manufacturing method, when a resin dish is used, the resin dish is thicker than the metal dish, so that there is a loss of the powder cosmetics in an amount corresponding to the increased volume of the wall thickness, resulting in a high product cost. However, there is a problem that the resin dish has no cost merit although the material cost is lower than the metal dish. Furthermore, in the conventional compression molding method, when a resin dish is used, the surface of the resin dish becomes soiled with powdered cosmetics, so that a wiping operation is indispensable and the cosmetics are lost and the manufacturing process becomes complicated. . In addition, if the design of each color of the multicolor cosmetics is different, several types of convex molds for the press die during powder compression molding are required, which increases the equipment cost such as die cost, and the product cost for small lot production. There is also the problem of causing a sharp rise in prices. Furthermore, the conventional method for producing a multicolor cosmetic is
Make powder cosmetics into a slurry with a solvent such as ethanol and pressurize by filling the bottom of the saucer with a filling port, or quantitatively fill from the top opening of the saucer, compress and mold, then dry to make the product. However, there are problems in that there are restrictions on the formulation, the drop strength after drying is weak, and the feel is defective.
