PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a resin particle that gives not only spreadability and smoothness but dry touch to a cosmetic, and singly also gives smoothness and dry touch, and gives good dispersibility in a hydrophobic medium.SOLUTION: The crosslinked (meth)acrylate resin particle is produced by copolymerizing a monomeric component containing a (meth)acrylate and a carboxyl group containing monomer, and at least one part of the surface of which is coated with a polyether modified silicone. A method for producing the resin particle and the cosmetic containing the resin particle are also disclosed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】 伸び、なめらかさのみならず、さらさらした感触を化粧料に付与し、かつ粒子単独でなめらかさとさらさら感を有し、疎水性媒体において分散性が良好な樹脂粒子の提供。【解決手段】 (メタ)アクリル酸エステルと、カルボキシル基を有する単量体を含む単量体成分を共重合してなり、表面の少なくとも一部がポリエーテル変性シリコーンで被覆されてなる、架橋(メタ)アクリル酸エステル系樹脂粒子、その製造法並びにその樹脂粒子を含有する化粧料。【選択図】 なし
