A W/O/W emulsion composition having high emulsion stability, which can be prepared extremely easily and for which the production efficiency of the W/O/W emulsion product is favorable, and a method of producing such a W/O/W emulsion composition. The W/O/W emulsion composition of the present invention includes 0.001 1 to 60% by mass of a component (A) described below and 0.001 to 10% by mass of a component (B) described below wherein, a mass ratio between the component (A) and the component (B) is within a range from 1:0.01 to 1:1.4. Component (A): a sugar fatty acid ester composition obtained by esterifying a sugar and a fatty acid of 8 to 28 carbon atoms, in which a hydroxyl value of said sugar fatty acid ester composition is within a range from 20 to 220. Component (B): a nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of not less than 7.
