EXTERNAL COMPOSITION FOR SKIN

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to solve problems associated with the conventional techniques and to provide an external composition for the skin which can exhibit a stable viscosity behavior in a lower pH range and has a reduced odor, and to which an organic acid or the like can be added in a sufficient amount. The present invention is an external composition for the skin, which comprises (A) a carboxyvinyl polymer or an alkyl-modified carboxyvinyl polymer, (B) a non-plant polysaccharide thickening agent and (C) at least one component selected from the group consisting of a hydroxymonocarboxylic acid, a hydroxydicarboxylic acid and phytic acid (wherein when lactic acid is used, the amount of lactic acid is 0.1 to 20 wt%).
