Abstract

Abstract A new type of cosmetics is prepared by incor­porating therein a synthetic flaky metallic oxide having an average thickness of about 0.l to about 2 µm, an average size of about l to about l00 µm [which is defined as an average value of (the longest diameter of flakes + shortest diameter of flakes)/ 2 for l00 flakes], and a refractive index of about l.4 to about l.8. Make-up cosmetics containing an artificially synthesized flaky metallic oxide of a low refractive index as a pigment, particularly an extender pigment have an improved touch and stability with time in use which has not been attained by conventional cosmetics.
