PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oily gel-like composition which is used for cosmetics, solves the defects of various conventional oily gel-like compositions that exhibit good gel-like characteristics, do simultaneously not have high temperature resistance, rich spreadability and creak touch-free physical properties, although known to be applied to cosmetics and the like, and are not satisfactory, when used for cosmetics, namely holds stability at high temperature, does not have a creaking touch, and has good spreadability, and to provide a cosmetic containing the same.SOLUTION: This oily gel-like composition for cosmetics is characterized by compounding an oil with 0.15 to 15 wt.% of tubular basic magnesium carbonate (inner diameter: 0.5 to 5 &mum outer diameter: 1 to 10 &mum major diameter: 10 to 50 &mum) comprising flaky fine crystals. A cosmetic such as an oily cosmetic, an oil-in-water type emulsified cosmetic, or a water-in-oil type emulsified cosmetic is produced by compounding the oily gel-like composition.COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI【課題】 従来、油性ゲル状組成物は多種多岐にわたり、良好なゲル化特性を示し、化粧品等に適用されるものが知られていたものの、これらには、耐高温性で、伸延性に富み、かつきしみ感のない物性をあわせ有するものではなく、化粧料に用いる場合には満足するものではなかった。本発明の課題は前述の欠点が解消された、即ち、高温において安定性を保持し、きしみ感を有さない、かつ伸び広がりのよい化粧料用油性ゲル状組成物及びそれを含む化粧料を提供することにある。【解決手段】 油剤に、薄片状微細結晶からなる管状の塩基性炭酸マグネシウム(内径0.5~5μm、外径1~10μm、長径10~50μm)を0.15~15重量%を配合して化粧料用油性ゲル状組成物をうる。これを配合して、油性化粧料、水中油型乳化化粧料、油中水型乳化化粧料等の化粧料を製造する。
