Ripple-phase-containing composition, alpha-gel formation composition, external skin care composition using alpha-gel formation composition, and alpha-gel composition using alpha-gel formation composition
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a ripple-phase-containing composition, an α-gel formation composition, and an α-gel composition that uses the α-gel formation composition, wherein said compositions are highly stable, do not deposit crystals, become more viscous, etc. over time, and, when used in a preparation for external use, are refreshing during application and have high skin-moisturizing action after application. A gel composition that includes a polyoxyethylene dialkyl ester and/or a polyoxyethylene dialkyl ether, a polyoxyethylene alkyl ester and/or a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, and, preferably, a polyoxyethylene sterol ether and water.
