Provided is a method for manufacturing a ceramide dispersion composition, including obtaining a crude dispersion liquid by performing a dispersion treatment in a state where a mixture, which contains ceramide, a nonionic surfactant, and a polyhydric alcohol in an amount of 10 times to 12,000 times as much as the mass of the ceramide, is heated to a temperature of equal to or higher than 100°C, and performing a high-pressure emulsification treatment after mixing the crude dispersion liquid with water or a water-containing composition.
