Additive for medicine or cosmetic

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:A stable additive for medicines or cosmetics, consisting of a compound obtained by adding ethylene oxide to a compound, e.g. glycerol or diglycerol, having a low viscosity and freezing point, and capable of giving the refreshing touch. CONSTITUTION:An additive for medicines or cosmetics containing a compound expressed by the formula[X is 3-6C residue of a compound having 3-6 hydroxyl groups, i.e. a residue of trimethylolethane, erythritol, pentaerythritol or sorbitol; (m) is 1-5; (n) is 3-6]. An additive having the function of a humectant, emulsion stabilizer, etc. is particularly preferred as the additive. The use of the additive prevents the rapid change in the viscosity of an aqueous solution with the temperature change and the change in the feeling of use in all seasons.
