A titanium phosphate powder suitable as a raw material for cosmetic products and a raw material for coating materials is provided. A titanium phosphate powder according to one aspect of the present invention is a titanium phosphate powder including plate-shaped crystal particles of titanium phosphate, in which a modified layer is present on a surface of the plate-shaped crystal particles.

Provided is a powder having excellent hiding power, such that the powder can be used in place of titanium dioxide as a white pigment in a cosmetic. The powder of the present invention includes plate-shaped crystal particles, the volume D50% diameter thereof is 0.7 μm or more and 8.0 μm or less, and a coefficient of variation (CV value) of a primary particle diameter is 1.0 or less.

The instant invention relates to a composition for cosmetic raw material containing microcapsule containing at least one encapsulated material comprising at least one core and at least one layered coating surrounding said core, and the encapsulated material being at least one reflective particle. The invention further relates to a process for preparing the composition for cosmetic raw material containing microcapsule containing at least one encapsulated material comprising at least one core and at least one layered coating surrounding said core, and the encapsulated material being at least one reflective particle.

The invention relates to a surface-modified effect pigment comprising particular additives and to the production thereof. The present invention further provides a nail varnish composition comprising a) at least one effect pigment that has been surface-modified with a starting material (additive), where the effect pigment comprises a substrate in platelet form and optionally at least one coating applied to the substrate, b) at least one hydrocarbon resin as binder, and c) at least one solvent or solvent mixture, where the starting material (additive) for surface modification of the effect pigment is at least one compound taken from the group consisting of phosphoric ester-containing, phosphonic ester-containing, phosphonic acid-containing, fatty acid-containing and/or silane-containing compounds or mixtures thereof.

This invention is directed to an effect pigment dispersion comprising a PVD-aluminum pigment, a leafing additive and an oil suitable for cosmetic skin care or color cosmetic applications, wherein a) the amount of the PVD-aluminum pigment is in a range of 8 to 30 wt.-%, b) the amount of the oil is in a range of 70 to 90 wt.-%, each based on the total weight of the effect pigment dispersion and c) the leafing additive is partly adsorbed on the surface of the PVD-aluminum pigment and partly an excess additive dissolved in the oil, wherein the amount of excess leafing additive is in a range of 0 to 25 wt.-%, based on the weight of PVD aluminum pigment. Further cosmetic skin care of color cosmetic formulations containing this effect pigment dispersion are described.

The oil-in-water type solid cosmetic material contains a powder component, a gelling agent, a water-soluble thickener, water, and an oiling agent, wherein a plate-like powder, which has an average particle size of 10 to 200 μm and has an aspect ratio of 40 to 200, is contained, as the powder component, in an amount of 3% to 30% by mass based on a total amount of the cosmetic material; and agar and/or gellan gum is contained as the gelling agent.

At least one embodiment, relates to a method for making cosmetic emulsions comprising the steps of preparing a uniform (suspension) dispersion of at least one water soluble polymer in a mixture containing at least one fatty alcohol. The mixture is to be sufficiently uniform to be processed by flaking, pastillating, prilling or otherwise solidifying the mixture which is then to be added to a cosmetic emulsion oil phase before combining with a water phase.

Provided is a white pigment for cosmetics capable of giving a cosmetic having an excellent performance smoothly applicable onto the skin. A white pigment for cosmetics of the present invention includes a titanium phosphate powder, the titanium phosphate powder includes crystal particles of titanium phosphate, and the titanium phosphate powder has an average friction coefficient (MIU) of less than 1.45.

Provided is a white pigment for cosmetics, and the white pigment has a higher function as a base pigment than that of titanium oxide. A white pigment for cosmetics of the present invention includes a titanium phosphate powder having a whiteness of 92.91 or more as determined in accordance with JIS Z 8715.

This patent document discloses a kit containing abase component and an activating component for cosmetics, therapeutic and aesthetic application purposes. The kit, comprised innovative technology, ingredients, and formulations that overcome the drawbacks of unviable, unpractical, unwearable and unmarketable products, enables a film-formed “young-looking skin” to cling onto the real skin for much longer period of time, and is truly wearable and viable to the consumers for achieving the benefits of dramatically reducing or diminishing eye bags, dark circles, enlarged pores, wrinkles, age spots, and so on with desired and rapid results. The film is comfortable, invisible, safe, non-invasive and easy to wear.
