Zusammenfassung:Provided is an external additive for toner, which is suitable for producing a toner having excellent storage stability and chargeability. A silica fine powder suitable for being added to the external additive for toner is also provided. The silica fine powder has a specific surface area of 15 m2/g or more and 90 m2/g or less, a loose bulk density of 0.09 g/cm3 or more and 0.18 g/cm3 or less, a carbon content of 0.25 wt % or more and 0.90 wt % or less, and a hydrophobicity of 60% or more and 75% or less. It is preferable that a ratio (A)/(B) of the loose bulk density of the silica fine powder after surface treatment (A) to a loose bulk density of the silica fine powder before the surface treatment (B) be 1.05 or more and 1.60 or less.
