PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition for external use mixed with minoxidil in which crystal precipitation of minoxidil and coloration with time are suppressed, the composition being excellent in feeling of use.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, there is provided an external composition comprising 3 to 10% by weight of minoxidil. In the composition, propylene glycol is included so that the weight ratio of minoxidil : propylene glycol is 1: 3 to 1 : 9 and the pH of the composition is 6.5 to 7.5.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】ミノキシジルを配合した外用組成物であって、ミノキシジルの結晶析出、及び経時的な着色が抑制されており、しかも使用感に優れた組成物を提供する。【解決手段】ミノキシジルを3~10重量%含み、ミノキシジル:プロピレングリコールの重量比が1:3~1:9となるようにプロピレングリコールを含み、かつ組成物のpHが6.5~7.5である外用組成物。【選択図】なし
