SOFTENING AGENT FOR SANITARY PAPER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a softening agent for sanitary paper, which can improve softness and a fitting feel of the sanitary paper and, when skin is rubbed by the sanitary paper, can reduce a load on the skin.SOLUTION: The softening agent for sanitary paper comprises (A) glycerin, (B) water, and (C) a sucrose fatty acid ester. A number of carbon atoms of an acyl group contained in the (C) component is 8 to 18 and there are contained at least acyl groups having 12 and 14 carbon atoms. When a mass of whole acyl groups is taken as 100 pts.mass, a total content of the two acyl groups having 12 and 14 carbon atoms is 75 to 95 pts.mass, and a mass ratio of the acyl group having 12 carbon atoms to the acyl group having 14 carbon atoms is 70/30 to 90/10. When a total content of the (A) component, (B) component, and (C) component is taken as 100 pts.mass, contents of the (A) component, (B) component, and (C) component are 70 to 94.5 pts.mass, 5 to 25 pts.mass, and 0.5 to 5 pts.mass, respectively.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】衛生紙の柔らかさおよびフィット感を向上させ、衛生紙で肌を擦った際の肌への負担を軽減させることができる衛生紙用柔軟剤の提供。【解決手段】（Ａ）グリセリン、（Ｂ）水、および（Ｃ）ショ糖脂肪酸エステルを含有する衛生紙用柔軟剤であって、（Ｃ）成分中に含まれるアシル基の炭素数が８〜１８であり、炭素数１２および１４の各アシル基を少なくとも含み、アシル基全体の質量を１００質量部としたとき、炭素数１２および１４の両アシル基の合計が７５〜９５質量部であり、炭素数１２のアシル基／炭素数１４のアシル基の質量比が７０／３０〜９０／１０であり、（Ａ）成分、（Ｂ）成分、および（Ｃ）成分の合計含有量を１００質量部としたとき、（Ａ）成分の含有量が７０〜９４．５質量部、（Ｂ）成分の含有量が５〜２５質量部、（Ｃ）成分の含有量が０．５〜５質量部である衛生紙用柔軟剤。【選択図】なし
