PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gel aqueous cosmetic in which temporal increase of hardness is suppressed and storage stability is excellent.SOLUTION: The invention provides a gel aqueous cosmetic containing a compound represented by the following general formula (1), fatty acid or a salt thereof, and water, wherein the content of fatty acid or a salt thereof is 0.01-5 mass% to the total mass of the gel aqueous cosmetic in terms of fatty acid, and hardness at the time of measurement at 25°C is 1-1000 g. In the general formula (1), R1 represents a hydrocarbon group, R2 and R4 each independently represent a hydrocarbon group, R3 may have an urethane bond, h+1 represents an univalent hydrocarbon group, R5 represents a hydrocarbon group, R6 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy group, m is an integer of 2 or more, h is an integer of 1 or more, k and n represent a repetition rate of structures in parentheses, and are each independently an integer of a range of 0-1000, and both k and n does not become 0.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】経時での硬度の上昇が抑制され、保存安定性に優れるゲル状水性化粧料を提供する。【解決手段】下記一般式(1)で表される化合物と、脂肪酸又はその塩と、水とを含有し、脂肪酸又はその塩の含有量が、脂肪酸換算で、ゲル状水性化粧料の全質量に対して0.01質量%~5質量%であり、かつ、25℃で測定したときの硬度が1g~1000gであるゲル状水性化粧料。 一般式(1)中、R1は炭化水素基を表し、R2及びR4は各々独立に炭化水素基を表し、R3はウレタン結合を有してもよい、h+1価の炭化水素基を表し、R5は炭化水素基を表し、R6は水素原子又はヒドロキシ基を表す。mは2以上の整数であり、hは1以上の整数であり、k及びnは括弧内の構造の繰り返し数を表し、各々独立に0~1000の範囲の整数であり、k及びnの両方が0になることはない。【選択図】なし
