PURPOSE:To obtain an emulsifier composition capable of being suitably used in fields such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or feedstuff, by containing glycyrrhizic acid or a salt thereof, a water soluble polyhydric alcohol having two or more hydroxyl groups in he molecule thereof and an oil phase component. CONSTITUTION:An emulsifier composition is obtained by containing glycyrrhizic acid or a salt thereof, water soluble polyhydric alcohol having two or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule thereof (e.g., ethylene glycol) and an oil phase component (e.g., tallow). In this case, the wt. ratio in the using amount of glycyrrhizic acid or a salt thereof and polyhydric alcohol is pref. 1:2-1000. Because thus obtained emulsifier composition is a uniform transparent or a translucent gel or viscous liquid, it can be directly and suitably used in various fields such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or feedstuff, for example, as a sun-care oil, a beauty liquid, jelly, a medical jelly or a lubricant. |
