Abstract: Provided is a titanium oxide with which it is possible to provide a cosmetic capable of realizing a uniform cosmetic film and creating a natural bare skin feel by having light spreading, soft focus properties, and moderate concealing power. Titanium (IV) oxide configured from particles characterized by having a peanut-like twin shape in which the major axis diameter, which is the longest part of a single particle, is 300-700 nm, the minor axis diameter, which is the largest portion in a direction perpendicular to the major axis, is 100-400 nm, the constriction diameter, which is the length in the direction perpendicular to the major axis at the center of the major axis, is 80-200 nm, and the ratio [constriction diameter]/[minor axis diameter] is 0.9 or less, and a cosmetic containing the titanium (IV) oxide.

Abstract: A powder which is composed of particles that are mainly composed of calcium titanate having a perovskite crystal structure, and primary particles of which have a generally spherical shape and an average particle diameter within the range of from 20 nm to 100 nm (inclusive). This powder is produced by a method which comprises: the production of calcium titanate by subjecting a mixed liquid that contains a sugar, an alkali, a water-soluble compound containing calcium, and a compound which is obtained by deflocculating a hydrolysis product of a titanium compound with use of a monobasic acid to a high-pressure liquid-phase reaction that includes heating to a temperature of from 100° ° C. to 270° C. (inclusive),; and a subsequent calcium removal treatment.

Abstract: The pigment is composed of particles having a lattice constant a of 5.4700-5.5100 ? and containing a calcium-titanium composite oxide as a main component. The pigment selectively transmit light in a warm-color range, and can be used as an alternative material for titanium oxide. This pigment can be used for a cosmetic, for example.

Abstract: Provided are: a pigment through which light in a warm color region can pass preferentially and which has high hiding power and is mainly used in cosmetic applications; a method for producing the pigment; and a method for using the pigment. The pigment comprises particles each containing a calcium-titanium composite oxide as a main component, in which it is confirmed that regions each having a paler color than the color of a region surrounding thereof are scattered in a dot-like form in the particles when the particles of the calcium-titanium composite oxide in the pigment are observed in a transmission electron microscopic image at a magnification of 100,000×, and the true density of the pigment is 3500 kg/m3 to 3790 kg/m3, inclusive.
