PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide effervescent external preparations having an excellent warm feeling effect and having a large foaming amount of carbon dioxide, and having high foaming persistence, while easily foaming carbon dioxide.SOLUTION: An effervescent external preparation comprises an acidic water-free liquid composition (A) and a water-containing liquid composition (B) containing a basic composition, in which the acidic water-free liquid composition (A) and the water-containing liquid composition (B) are mixed to use. The acidic water-free liquid composition (A) comprises (a1) one or more selected from the group consisting of malic acid and ascorbic acid, (a2) polyol, and (a3) a gelling agent or a thickener. Preferably the component (a1) is malic acid, and preferably the acidic water-free liquid composition (A) and the water-containing liquid composition (B) is mixed to use at 1:5 to 5:1.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡単に二酸化炭素を発泡させるとともに、温感効果が良好で、さらに二酸化炭素の発泡量が多く、泡の持続性の高い発泡性外用剤を提供する。【解決手段】(A)酸性非水液状組成物と、(B)塩基性組成物を含有する含水液状組成物とを有し、(A)酸性非水液状組成物と(B)含水液状組成物を混合して使用する発泡性外用剤であって、(A)酸性非水液状組成物が、(a1)リンゴ酸およびアスコルビン酸よりなる群から選ばれる1種以上と、(a2)ポリオールと、(a3)ゲル化剤または増粘剤と、を有する発泡性外用剤である。(a1)がリンゴ酸であることが好ましく、(A)酸性非水液状組成物と(B)含水液状組成物を1:5~5:1で混合して使用することが好ましい。【選択図】なし
