One aspect of the present disclosure is an organic/inorganic composite powder and a composition including the same in which a coating film on a surface of an inorganic powder is not easily fall off under various conditions such as pH, temperature, physical force, etc., so that has excellent moisture retention and less transferring and allows for natural makeup.

An apparatus is described for dispensing cosmetic material from a cartridge onto a dispensing surface. The apparatus includes a retractable plate disposed beneath the detachable portion, where a dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is configured to penetrate the retractable plate and the detachable portion. When the retractable plate is at a stable highest position, the dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is flush with the surface of the retractable plate. When the retractable plate is moved to a predetermined stable downward position below the highest position, and the detachable portion is placed on the retractable surface, the dispensing end of the at least one cartridge is flush with the dispensing surface and the retractable plate is configured to move even further downward to an unstable position in response to a downward force on the detachable portion.

The present invention relates to a water-in-oil surfactant consisting of a mixture of compounds of formula (I): ##STR00001##
wherein the compound of formula (I) has an average degree of polymerisation n of between 4 and 6,
R1, R2 and R3 being, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a group R4 derived from at least one carboxylic acid,
the carboxylic acid being 12-hydroxystearic acid or a mixture of 12-hydroxystearic acid and ricinoleic acid. The present invention also relates to a surfactant composition and to a cosmetic composition comprising this surfactant.

Provided are cosmetic powder compositions which contain at least one butter, such as shea butter, at least one butter treated powder and a high mass content of spherical powder particles.
