To accomplish the goal of this study, some material reviews were done about the characteristics and ingredients of loose powder. Also, 4 types of loose powder which were manufactured differently by liquid paraffin of hydrocarbon type, caprylic/capric triglyceride of ester type, octyldodecanol of high-quality alcohol type, DC 345 fluid of silicon oil type, as the ingredients of oil binder, were distributed to 180 people (each person given with 20g) and for 4 days, they were advised to apply one type`s loose powder each day on the face for over 6 hours.

Second, refreshing usage and soft spreading effect were good in high-quality alcohol oil binder. Third, durability was good in silicon oil binder. By the above result, It showed that loose powder manufactured by the characteristics of oil binder could make it possible to raise the effective availability for all users.
