The Sara-sara feel, which means “a state in which things are not damp or sticky and feel dry,” is a preferred tactile sensation when people touch human skin, hair, clothing, and cosmetics. In this study, the Sara-sara feel was evaluated for silicone powder, cellulose powder, hydrophobized sericite powder, and various mixes of these powders. It was found that the highest Sara-sara feel score was achieved by the silicone powder. A multiple regression analysis showed that the Sara-sara feel was strongly correlated with a slippery feel. The relationship between certain physical properties, e.g., particle size distribution, and the slippery feel was analyzed to demonstrate how the subjects felt the slippery feel. It was observed that as the friction coefficient µk was reduced, most subjects strongly felt the slippery feel. This coefficient slightly decreased when the composition of spherical silicone powder increased, because the contact area between spherical particles is smaller than that between plate and amorphous particles.
