Abstract: Problem: To provide highly water-repellent layered silicate-coated silica particles with higher safety. Solution: A layered silicate-coated body has a silica particle, a saponite-like layered silicate derivative coating at least part of the silica particle, and a hydrophobic functional group introduced to the silica particle and/or the layered silicate derivative.

Abstract: A silicate-coated body contains: a mica particle; a first silicate coating at least part of the mica particle; and an ionic organic colorant adsorbed to the first silicate. The ionic organic colorant includes at least one selected from the group consisting of amaranth, new coccine, phloxine B, rose bengal, acid red, fast green, indigo carmine, lithol rubine B, and lithol rubine BCA.

Abstract: A silicate-coated body contains: a mica particle; a first silicate coating at least part of the mica particle; and a functional substance that is carried by the first silicate.

Abstract: A silicate-coated body has a substrate, silica and/or a silica modified product adhered to a surface of the substrate, and a first silicate coating at least part of the substrate via the silica and/or the silica modified product.

Abstract: The present invention provides an iron oxide-coated layered silicate pigment that has no interference color, strongly exhibits the color inherent in iron oxide, and is excellent in gloss. The pigment of the present invention is an iron oxide-coated layered silicate pigment comprising a layered-silicate plate particle as base, and an iron oxide coated on the plate particle; wherein the iron oxide does not coat the surface portion of the plate particle or the iron oxide is localized on the edge portion rather than the surface portion of the plate particle. As the iron oxide, at least one kind selected from black iron oxide (Fe3O4) and red iron oxide (Fe2O3) can be used preferably. As the layered silicate, a mica-group layered silicate can be used preferably. The iron oxide-coated layered silicate pigment of the present invention can be incorporated into cosmetic preferably.
