[Problem] To provide a stick-shaped base material capable of having a desired break strength for a stick-shaped base material even if the lipid peptide compound amount is reduced. A stick-shaped base material including: a lipid peptide compound comprising at least one type selected from a compound indicated by formula (1), a similar compound, or a pharmaceutically useful salt thereof; a surfactant; water; 1,2alkanediol or 1,3alkanediol; at least one type of fatty acid; and an alginic acid derivative. (In the formula, R1 indicates a C923 aliphatic group, R2 indicates a hydrocarbon atom or a C14 alkyl group capable of having a C12 branched chain, R3 indicates a (CH2)nX group, n indicates 14, and X indicates a fused heterocycle comprising a 5-membered ring, a 6-membered ring, or a 5-membered ring and a 6-membered ring, and capable of having 13 amino groups, guanidino groups, CONH2 groups, or nitrogen atoms.)
