PURPOSE:A cosmetic having good touch, hydrating properties, and improved stability free from irritation to the skin, containing a composition obtained by esterifying an ester of a polyol and a hydroxymonocarboxylic acid with a saturated dibasic acid as an oily base. CONSTITUTION:A cosmetic containing a composition obtained by esterifying an ester (e.g., castor oil) of a polyol (e.g., glycerin) and a hydroxymonocarboxylic acid (e.g., 12-hydroxystearic acid) with a saturated dibasic acid (e.g., sebacic acid) or esterifying further partially or completely the remaining OH group of this composition with >=3C saturated, unsaturated or branched fatty acid as an oily base. 1-30wt% hydroxymonocarboxylic acid may be replaced with the saturated, unsaturated, or branched fatty acid, and used. The reaction product of the esterification has improved compatibility with an oil agent, and no deterioration of quality with time. |
