The present invention relates to interference pigments comprising layers of zincsulfide-based materials. The pigments advantageously comprise a low refractive index core and at least one high refractive index layer comprising zincsulfide. The present invention also proposes a method for synthesizing these pigments by heterogeneous precipitation of zincsulfide onto a powdery support, which is achieved by adding a zinc salt solution to a reaction medium containing a dispersion of the powdery support and titrating a sodium sulfide solution at a certain pH. The present invention also relates to cosmetic compositions comprising these interference pigments but lacking titanium dioxide, which is typically introduced as a filler or by providing cosmetic ingredients containing titanium dioxide.
