POWDER COSMETIC CONTAINING COMPOSITE POWDER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a powder cosmetic exhibiting excellent effects in all of coverability, effects for shading pores, bare skin appearance, transparent appearance, and smooth adhesiveness. SOLUTION: The cosmetic includes a composite powder (I) and a composite powder (II) composed of two or more kinds of powders, wherein the composite (I) has a reflection coefficient Y of >40% in a light-receiving angle range of -40 to 45°, exhibits the maximum value in a range of 40 to 50°, and has the ratio of a reflection coefficient Y (0°) at a light-receiving angle of 0° to a reflection coefficient Y (45°) at a light-receiving angle of 45° is 0.7 to 0.95, when the reflection coefficient Y of the composite powder is measured under the irradiation of incident light at an angle of incidence of -45°, while changing the angle in a light-receiving angle of -70 to 70°. The composite powder (II) is a composite powder containing sericite, a metal soap, and lipids, wherein the sericite is coated with the metal soap and the lipids. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
