Provided is silicon oxide-coated zinc oxide, which can inhibit a decrease in viscosity resulting from a carbomer in a case where the silicon oxide-coated zinc oxide is used in water-based materials, a composition containing silicon oxide-coated zinc oxide, and a cosmetic product. The silicon oxide-coated zinc oxide of the present invention contains zinc oxide particles and a silicon oxide coating on a surface of the zinc oxide particles, in which an electric conductivity of a water suspension of the silicon oxide-coated zinc oxide is 120 µS/cm or less.
