Additive for surface activation, and emulsion composition using same

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel additive for surface activation and an emulsion composition using same, in which an excellent emulsion stability is obtained. The present invention also addresses the problem of improving the usage feel in a cosmetic and the lubrication performance in a lubricant. This additive for surface activation is one in which the following components (A) and (B) are compounded. (A) An amine or ammonium compound having a hydroxyaliphatic hydrocarbon group that contains one or more hydroxy groups and optionally contains an oxygen atom unassociated with the hydroxy groups; and (B) an unsaturated or branched aliphatic acid having 8 to 22 carbon atoms or a salt thereof. In addition, this emulsion composition is one in which the above additive has been added.
