BACKGROUND ART Invention defined in claim 1 10 [0002] Retention of moisture is essential for maintaining healthy skin, and many endermic liniments designed for moisture retention have been developed. As far as the sensation at the time of application of an endermic liniment is concerned, smoothness without a sticky sensation is desired. [0003] Research with regard to humectants is carried out intensively; humectants such as organic salts, polyhydric 15 alcohols, and water-soluble polymers are blended in an endermic liniment today. [0004] However, the blend ratio of these humectants must be increased in order to increase the moisture retaining effect, and as a result there are the following problems to be solved: the system becomes unstable, usability becomes poor, and, when applied to skin, it is repelled by sebum, or fitness for skin becomes poor. [0005] The inventors conducted earnest research in view of the aforementioned problems and discovered that an 20 endermic liniment that is superior in terms of the tactile sensation during use, smoothness in particular, without a sticky sensation, and having a lasting moisture retaining effect, can be obtained when diethoxy ethyl succinate and a humectant are blended in an endermic liniment, thus completing the present invention. [0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an endermic liniment comprising a polyoxyethylene dicarbo- xylate which promotes the effect of the ingredients, and in particular to provide an endermic liniment comprising a 25 humectant in combination with the polyoxyethylene dicarboxylate. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION Invention defined in claim 1 30 [0007] That is, the present invention provides an endermic liniment as defined in claim 1. [0008] Also, the present invention provides said endermic liniment wherein said endermic liniment is a whitening endermic liniment. 35 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION [0009] The configuration of the present invention is described in detail below. Invention defined in claims 1-3 40 [0010] Polyoxyethylene dicarboxylates of the chemical formula (1) are known substances. [0011] Chemical formula (1): 45 50 (In this formula, R1 and R2 are hydrogen or alkyl or branched alkyl groups having 1-4 carbon atoms, and m, n, X, and Y are integers 0-5 which are not all zero at the same time. R3 is a branched or linear chain alkylene group having 0-10 carbon atoms.) 55 [0012] In chemical 1 formula (1), R1 and R2 denote alkyl or branched alkyl groups with a carbon number of 1-4; when the carbon number exceeds 5, hydrophilicity is reduced and the stability of the system becomes poor as they are blended in an endermic liniment (lotion in particular), m, n, X, and Y denote an integer of 0-5. Preferably they should be integers 1-2. If the total of m, n, X, and Y is zero, then hydrophilicity is reduced and the stability of the system becomes poor as 3 EP 1 153 602 B1 they are blended in an endermic liniment (lotion in particular). If it is more than 15, then the tactile sensation during use, smoothness in particular, becomes insufficient. R3 denote an alkyl or branched alkyl group with a carbon number of 0-10; when the carbon number exceeds 10, hydrophilicity is reduced and the stability of the system becomes poor as it is blended in an endermic liniment (lotion in particular). 5 [0013] Of polyoxyethylene dicarboxylates (1), diethoxyethyl succinate is used according to the invention due to its tactile sensation during use. An endermic liniment with particularly superior smoothness and without a sticky sensation which has a lasting moisture effect can be obtained. [0014] The blend ratio of the diethoxyethyl succinate is not limited in particular, but preferably 0.001-20.0 wt%, more preferably 0.1-10.0 wt% based upon the total amount of the endermic liniment. If it is less than 0.001 wt%, then the 10 effect of the blending is not manifested. If it is over 20. 0 wt%, then a sti.cky sensation will arise after use. [0015] The humectant used in the present invention is selected from polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, 1,3-butylene glycol, xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, hyaluronic acid, or diglycerin (EO)PO adduct. [0016] The blend ratio of the humectant is not limited in particular; it is preferably 0.001-20.0 wt%, more preferably 0.1-10.0 wt%, based upon the total amount of the endermic liniment. 15 Common description [0017] The endermic liniment of the present invention is prepared by blending the aforementioned essential ingredients in an existing endermic liniment base. In addition to the aforementioned essential ingredients, other ingredients used in 20 endermic liniments such as cosmetics and drugs can be blended as necessary in the endermic liniment of the present invention; examples of such ingredients include powder ingredients, liquid fats and oils, solid fats and oils, waxes, hydrocarbons, higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, esters, silicones, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, ampholytic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, humectants, water-soluble polymers, thickeners, coating agents, ultraviolet light ab- sorbents, sequestering agents, lower alcohols, polyhydric alcohols, sugars, amino acids, organic amines, polymer emul- 25 sions, pH adjusting agents, skin nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, antioxidation assistants, perfumes, and water; and the endermic liniment can be prepared for the target formulation with a conventional method. Specific ingredients which can be blended in are listed below. The endermic liniment of the present invention can be prepared by blending the afore- mentioned essential ingredients and any one, two or more of the following ingredients. [0018] Examples of the powder ingredients include inorganic powders (for example, talc, kaolin, mica, sericite, mus- 30 covite, phlogopite, synthetic mica, lepidolite, biotite, vermiculite, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, aluminum silicate, barium silicate, calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, strontium silicate, tungstic acid metal salt, magnesium, silica, zeolite, barium sulfate, firing calcium sulfate (calcined gypsum), calcium phosphate, fluorine-apatite, hydroxy apatite, ceramic powder, metallic soaps (for example, myristic acid zinc, calcium palmitate, and
