Abstract: In a method of producing scale-like composite particles, a dispersion liquid is prepared to include scale-like inorganic particles coated with resin and spherical fine particles having an average particle diameter in a range from 0.1 to 3.0 ?m. The scale-like inorganic particles coated with the resin and the spherical fine particles is dispersed in water, alcohol, or a mixture dispersant of the water and the alcohol. Then, the dispersion liquid is sprayed in a heated air stream for drying so that the spherical fine particles are adhered on the scale-like inorganic particles coated with resin by an electrostatic force generated by contact between the particles.

Abstract: Scale-like composite particles having oily feel as well as soft and smooth feel are provided. The scale-like composite particles include inorganic oxide particles having an average diameter in a range from 0.1 to 3.0 ?m and adhered in a single layer to a surface of resin-coated scale-like inorganic particles. The scale-like inorganic particles may include natural minerals such as mica, talc and sericite, synthetic mica, synthetic sericite, plate-like titanium oxide, and resin may include resin having rubber-like elasticity such as polyurethane, styrene-butadiene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, silicone rubber, crude rubber and nylon-based elastomer.
