The present disclosure relates to silica particles comprising repeating units of (SiO.sub.4/2) that are spherical in shape, which has the benefit of compatibility with personal care components and the resulting personal care applications. The present disclosure also relates to methods of preparing silica particles.

The present invention is intended to provide an oily makeup cosmetic that is colorless in appearance but develops a color on application onto body surface, such as skin and lips. The present invention provides a colorless oily makeup cosmetic comprising (a) one or two dyes selected from Red No. 218 and Red No. 223, and (b) an oil agent, and a mixture of the component (a) and the component (b) at a mass ratio (a):(b) of 0.1:100 has a difference of 0.2 or less between the maximum absorbance and the minimum absorbance in a wavelength region of 500 to 600 nm. The oily makeup cosmetic may develop a color due to the component (a) on application onto body surface, such as skin and lips.

Solid pigment dispersions are described which are formulated to a paste consistency during grinding to reduce the pigment particle size and form a dry granular consistency at ambient temperature that is pourable and easy to handle. This allows for stronger, more intense colors and allows for easy integration into a variety cosmetic products. These pigment dispersions are prepared with plant-derived substances, derived from naturally occurring, renewable sources.

The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion gel cosmetic composition comprising an oil agent, water, a polyol, an anionic surfactant, an amphiphilic polymer and a coloring material.

Disclosed herein is a free flowing, oil absorbing and water repellant modified carbohydrate, wherein the modified car-bohydrate is produced from a carbohydrate base being derivatized with one or more anionic moieties; esterified with octenylsuccinic anhydride; and complexed with a polyvalent cation, as well as compositions containing such modified carbohydrates. Such modified carbohydrates and compositions containing same are used in food and personal care applications, cosmetics, dry shampoo, anti-perspirant, deodorant, ointment and sunscreen.

An aqueous cosmetic includes water, a polyhydric alcohol and carminic acid. A content of the carminic acid is greater than or equal to 0.2 mass % and less than 2 mass % based on a total amount of the aqueous cosmetic.

The invention relates to a dispersion of polymer particles stabilized with a stabilizer in a nonaqueous medium containing at least one hydrocarbon-based oil, the polymer of the particles being a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer; the stabilizer being a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer and optionally of a silicone macromonomer (I): the stabilizer being a polymer comprising from 50% to 100% by weight, relative to the total weight of the stabilizer, of C.sub.8-C.sub.22 alkyl acrylate, from 0 to 50% by weight of C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate and optionally silicone macromonomer (I).

The invention also relates to the composition comprising said dispersion of polymer particles.
