A series of particles, in which each particle contains at least 3 wt. % of pigment(s) in relation to the weight of the particle, a method for producing the series of particles, and uses thereof in cosmetic compositions, particularly in make-up for keratinous materials.

Silica-including microcapsule resin particles including an outer shell constituted of a crosslinked polymer and a cavity partitioned with the outer shell, in which the silica-including microcapsule resin particles contain inside the cavity a porous structure in which silica particles are mutually connected, and have a volume average particle diameter of 0.5 to 100 μm.

Zinc oxide particles are prepared as a dry powder through a vapor phase formed by a plasma process, or by introducing defects into stoichiometric zinc oxide particles in a liquid carrier through mechanical stress. The zinc oxide has an O:Zn ratio of at least 0.99, an average particle size of 10 to 300 nm, and a sufficient concentration of oxygen vacancies and zinc vacancies to give a dispersion of the particles in C12-C15 alkyl benzoate an orange to tan color corresponding to a ΔE value of at least 15 in a Dispersion Color Test. The particles contain no aggregates and have no detectable particles 500 nm or larger, on a number-weighted basis

Described herein are oral care compositions comprising metal silicates (e.g. potassium silicate); along with methods of making and using same.

The present disclosure relates to compositions, including foamable compositions with improved properties, such as those comprising waxes, emollients, foam adjuvants and/or active agents, and methods for preparing and using them.

The present invention relates to interference pigments based on platelet-shaped substrates which are coated with at least four high refractive layers and to the use thereof, inter alia in paints, coatings, printings inks, plastics and in particular in cosmetic formulations. The interference pigments show a moderate chroma and can be used as effect pigments, as filler pigments and as protection agent against near infrared radiation, VIS and high energy light.

The present invention relates to a method for applying false eyelashes, comprising: a step of applying, on the root of the eyelashes of the eyelid of a person, a magnetic composition comprising fine magnetic particles; and a step of applying, on the composition deposited in the previous step, a magnetic false eyelash.

The present invention relates to a sunscreen cosmetic for application to a user's skin. The sunscreen cosmetic is provided with a mineral including zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or a combination of both. The sunscreen cosmetic also includes a high buffering-capacity agent configured to react with an external acidic source coming in contact with the cosmetic and to inhibit release of zinc ions from the zinc oxide and/or to inhibit release of titanium ions from the titanium dioxide.

The present invention refers to the use of a surface-reacted calcium carbonate having a volume median particle size d.sub.50 from 0.1 to 90 μm as skin appearance modifier in a cosmetic and/or skin care composition.

The application describes an effect pigment comprising a) a substrate platelet and b) a coating. The coating has at least one layer that comprises (i) a metal oxide and/or metal oxide hydrate and

(ii) a coloring compound from the group of pigments.

A process for producing the colored effect pigments is also described.
