PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an O/W emulsion composition having excellent preparation stability and produced by combining an inorganic powder and an organic ultraviolet absorbent.SOLUTION: The O/W emulsion composition is characterized by having the following first oil phase (i) and second oil phase (ii), which are separately dispersed in a water phase as emulsion particles. The first oil phase (i) contains the organic ultraviolet absorbent and has an average particle diameter of &le700 nm and the second oil phase (ii) contains a silicone oil and dispersed hydrophobized inorganic powder.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】無機粉末と有機紫外線吸収剤とを配合し、製剤安定性に優れたO/W乳化組成物の提供。【解決手段】O/W乳化組成物であって、下記第1油相と第2油相とがそれぞれ別個に水相中に乳化粒子として分散していることを特徴とするO/W乳化組成物:(i)有機紫外線吸収剤を含有し、平均粒子径が700nm以下である第1油相;(ii)シリコーン油を含有し、疎水化処理無機粉末が分散している第2油相。【選択図】なし
