PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil-in-water emulsion composition which is excellent in non-stickiness, in inhibitory effect of transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and in temporal stability in low temperature.SOLUTION: The invention provides an oil-in-water emulsion composition containing the following component (a)-(c): (a) propylene polymer with a weight average molecular weight of 25000-100000, and with a melting point of 60-100°C; (b) hydrocarbon oil with a melting point of less than 60°C; (c) ester oil which is a paste at 25°C. The total amount of the oils in the oil-in-water emulsion composition is 5-20 mass%, and the content ratio of the component (c) to the total amount of the oils in the oil-in-water emulsion composition is 10-50 mass%.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】べたつき感のなさ、経表皮水分蒸散量(TRANSEPIDERMAL WATER LOSS;TEWL)の抑制効果、低温での経時安定性に優れる水中油型乳化組成物を提供すること。【解決手段】 次の成分(a)~(c);(a)重量平均分子量が25000~100000、融点が60℃~100℃であるプロピレン重合体(b)融点60℃未満の炭化水素油(c)25℃でペースト状のエステル油を含有する水中油型乳化組成物であって、水中油型乳化組成物における全油量が5~20質量%であり、かつ水中油型乳化組成物における全油量に対する成分(c)の含有割合が10~50質量%である水中油型乳化組成物。【選択図】なし
