Abstract

A method for adjusting hardness of a stick-shaped base material including a lipid peptide compound. A method for adjusting hardness of a gelled solid base material for skin external application including a surfactant, water, and lipid peptide compound including compounds of formulae (1) or similar,

wherein R¹ is a C_9-23 aliphatic group, R² is a hydrogen atom or similar, and R³ is a —(CH₂)n-X group, n is a number from 1 to 4, and X is amino group, the method including adding a pH adjuster to a solution in which the material is dissolved, or a solution including a surfactant, water, and lipid peptide compound including at least one of compounds of formulae (1) to (3) or pharmaceutically usable salts thereof, to adjust the pH of the solution to a weak acidic to neutral range, causing gelation of the solution to form a solid base material for skin external application.

Claims

1. A method for adjusting hardness of a gelled solid base material for skin external application, the solid base material including a surfactant, water, and a lipid peptide compound including at least one of compounds of formulae (1) to (3) or pharmaceutically usable salts of the compounds represented by:

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the solution adjusted to be in the weak acidic to neutral range has a pH of 3.0 to 7.5.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pH adjuster is acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or aqueous ammonia.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the solid base material for skin external application is used for cosmetics or pharmaceuticals.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the re-formed solid base material for skin external application is stick-shaped.
