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.

The present invention provides a tooth whitening oral care composition comprising: (i) a dye having a blue to blue-violet color with a hue angle in the CIELAB system ranging from 200 to 320 degrees; (ii) core shell silica particles, wherein each core shell silica particle comprises a silica core, and a surface of the silica core is etched with metal silicate; (iii) an orally acceptable carrier vehicle comprising a non-aqueous solvent; and wherein the composition comprises water in an amount of from 3 weight % to 30 weight %.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water-in-oil emulsified solid cosmetic having a relatively high internal-aqueous-phase proportion (about 40% or higher), the cosmetic being a makeup which has an excellent concealing effect and gives a natural finish and which is stable and has satisfactory applicability. The present invention relates to a solid cosmetic in water-in-oil emulsified type characterized by comprising (A) at least one fatty acid glyceryl ester selected from the group consisting of glyceryl isostearate, poly(2-glyceryl) diisostearate, and glyceryl oleate, (B) an aqueous component, (C) an oily component, and (D) a powdery component, the oily component (C) comprising a solid oil (C1) and an oil-soluble film former (C2) and the powdery component (D) comprising titanium dioxide (D1) having a primary-particle diameter of 0.05-0.5 μm in an amount of 10 mass % or more relative to the whole cosmetic preparation and further containing a pearl pigment (D2).

The present invention relates to a multilayer UV filter particle, comprising: an odd number of alternating layers of high and low refractive index materials, wherein each layer has a refractive index that differs from that of adjacent layers by at least 0.2, the total number of layers is at least 9, and the particle does not contain a substrate. The particle according to the present invention can have a good UV filtering effect.

An aqueous liquid cosmetic containing 1 to 20% by mass of (A) a flake aluminum powder coated with a layer containing a silicon compound; 0.5 to 10% by mass of (B) a polycarboxylic acid-based dispersant having a mass-average molecular weight of 10,000 or less; and 1 to 40% by mass of (C) a film-forming polymer emulsion in terms of a solid content is provide. Normally, the aqueous liquid cosmetic contains at least 40% by mass of water, and further may optionally contain (D) a color pigment as another ingredient. This aqueous liquid cosmetic is suitable for eye makeup applications such as eyeliners, eyebrows, eye colors, and the like.

A powder cosmetic comprising 3 to 80% by mass of a colorless interference pigment having a chroma C* of 5.0 or more (A), and 0.001 to 3% by mass of a color pigment (B), wherein a hue difference value ΔH* between an appearance color and a coating color is 10 or more is provided. The powder cosmetic may contain a content of 40 to 96% by mass of an inorganic extender pigment (C), a content of 1 o 30% by mass of an organic extender pigment (D), and a content of 1 to 30% by mass of an oily component (E).
