It is intended to provide fine grains for cosmetics which are excellent in smoothness upon application to the skin or hydrophilic nature and powdery texture. These modified inorganic fine grains comprise, on the surface of inorganic fine grains, a polymer layer (I) prepared by plasma-polymerizing one of monomers selected from among fluorinated monomers, silicone-based monomers, aromatic monomers and alicyclic monomers; a polymer layer (II) obtained by plasma graft-polymerizing a monomer having a functional group; or a polymer layer (III) prepared by plasma graft-polymerizing a monomer having a functional group modified with a functional organic compound(s). The functional organic compound(s) as described above are one or more members selected from among dyes, UV absorbers and skin-chapping inhibitors. |
