The present invention relates to a capsule comprising a pigment and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a capsule which comprises therein a pigment inside which is likely to be discolored due to external environment, and thereby can easily crack or break and cause color development when applied to the skin, while isolating the pigment from the external environment, and a method for producing the same.

Zinc oxide coated with silicon oxide of the present invention is zinc oxide which is coated with silicon oxide wherein surfaces of zinc oxide particles are coated with silicon oxide coatings, and the coated zinc oxide particles comprises at least one element selected from a group consisting of Mg, Ca, and Ba.
