SOLUTION: The moisturizing agent having high solubility and low viscosity and accordingly convenient for use is composed of one or more substances selected from alginic acid and its salt having an average molecular weight of 10,000-100,000 and the external preparation for skin contains the moisturizing agent. The average molecular weight of the alginic acid and/or its salt is preferably 40,000-70,000. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
