A non-pressed cosmetic powder product. The product is formed by mixing cosmetically acceptable powder materials, a binder, an evaporable carrier, and inorganic pigments to form a slurry. The pigments are coated with a non-polar, water insoluble, organic coatÂing which renders the pigments hydrophobic. The slurry is poured into a mold or container and on evaporation of the carrier a solid powder cake is produced. Through use of the hydrophobic pigments, color drift during filling of the mold is minimized and cracking of the cake during drying is prevented. |
