The present invention provides a water-in-oil type emulsion composition containing an aqueous component of 70 to 98 mass%, and the internal aqueous phase having an average emulsion particle diameter of 10 to 100μm, the composition providing an excellent temporal stability and an excellent moisturizing effect without sticky feeling, and providing a felling of water running over (=phase inversion) when applied. The water-in-oil type emulsion composition contains the following components (A) to (E): (A) 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-1,2,3-hexadecane triol, (B) diglyceryl diisostearate, (C) polyoxyethylene/methyl polysiloxane copolymer, (D) an aqueous component, (E) an oily component. Relative to the whole composition, the mass of aqueous component of component (D) is 70 to 98 mass%, the average emulsion particle diameter of the internal aqueous phase is 10 to 100μm and relative to the whole composition, the total mass of the component (A), (B), and (C) is 0.07 to 0.9 mass%.本發明係提供一種油中水型乳化組成物,其係包含水性成分70至98質量%,其之內水相之平均乳化粒徑為10至100μm,而經時穩定性良好,無發黏感,保濕效果優異,並且在塗佈時可賦予水的溢出感(=轉相感);該油中水型乳化組成物包含下述成分(A)至(E):(A)3,7,11,15-四甲基-1,2,3-十六烷三醇、(B)二異硬脂酸二甘油酯、(C)聚氧乙烯/甲基聚矽氧烷共聚物、(D)水性成分、(E)油性成分,相對於組成物整體,成分(D)之水性成分的質量為70至98質量%,其內水相之平均乳化粒徑為10至100μm;而且,相對於組成物整體,成分(A)、(B)、(C)的總量為0.07至0.9質量%。本案圖式係油中水型乳化組成物之乳化粒徑的顯微鏡照片,不足以代表本案技術特徵。故無指定代表圖。
