The subject of the present invention is to provide a water-in-oil type composition that has excellent coating film uniformity, water resistance, stability over time, and has good usability such as non-sticky feeling. The characteristics of the water-in-oil composition that solves this problem is that it contains the following components (A) ~ (D)；Component (A) 5-30% by mass of zinc oxide surface-treated with silica and hydrophobizing treatment agentIngredient (B) Polar oilIngredient (C) Silicone oilIngredient (D) water,Component (A) is a mixture of 0.25% by mass in water/ethanol solvent (mass ratio water:ethanol=3:1) with a light transmittance of 0.8-20 at a wavelength of 700nm,The content of the surfactant is 1% by mass or less.本發明之課題在於提供塗膜之均一性、耐水性、經時安定性優異，具有無黏膩感等之良好使用性之油中水型組成物。解決該課題之油中水型組成物之特徵係含有以下成分(A)~(D)；成分(A)藉由氧化矽及疏水化處理劑進行表面處理之氧化鋅5~30質量%成分(B)極性油成分(C)矽氧油成分(D)水，成分(A)係於水/乙醇溶劑(質量比 水:乙醇=3：1)中以0.25質量%混合時波長700nm的光透過率為0.8~20者，界面活性劑之含量為1質量%以下。
