This invention relates to a coated powder material containing a powder material having a surface layer that has been chemically immobilized with one or more surface-active agents and coated with an oil. The surface-active agents are present in an amount of at least about 0.1% by weight, based on the powder material; the oil is present in an amount ranging from about 0.1 to 180% by weight, based on the powder material; and the combined weight percentage of the surface-active agents and oil is at least about 4.0% by weight, based on the powder material. The oil-absorption rate of the powder material ranges from about 0.01 to about 0.70 gram of oil per gram of dry powder. The coated powder material is useful as a cosmetic.

This invention relates to a surface-modified pigment having at least two surface-active agents chemically immobilized onto the surface of the pigment. The first surface-active agent has an HLB of about 10 or more, the second surface-active agent has an HLB of 9 or less, and the difference in HLB between the first and second surface-active agents is at least about 5. The surface-modified pigments are self emulsifying and are applicable for use in water-based cosmetic systems and toiletry products.
