PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an emulsion composition for a ceramide-containing cosmetic which can allow a cosmetic that is particularly an aqueous cosmetic to uniformly contain ceramide that has been difficult to be blended into cosmetic due to high crystallinity at ordinary temperature, is free from crystal deposition of ceramide, and has excellent stability over time, a method for producing thereof, and a cosmetic in which the emulsion composition for cosmetic is blended.SOLUTION: An emulsion composition for a ceramide-containing cosmetic of the present invention is a uniform oil-in-water emulsion composition that contains ceramides, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, glyceryl caprylate and water as essential components, in which an average HLB value of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is 8 or more and less than 15, and contains ceramides at 0.01 mass% or more and less than 1 mass%, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether at 5 20 mass%, and glyceryl caprylate at 0.5 to 10 mass%.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】常温においては結晶性が高かったため、化粧料に配合が困難であったセラミドを、化粧料、特に水性の化粧料にも均一に含有させることができ、セラミドの結晶析出が無い、経時的安定性に優れる、セラミド含有化粧料用エマルジョン組成物、その製造方法及び当該化粧料用エマルジョン組成物を配合した化粧料を提供する。【解決手段】本発明のセラミド含有化粧料用エマルジョン組成物は、セラミド類、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル、カプリル酸グリセリル及び水を必須成分として含み、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテルの平均HLB値は8以上15未満であり、セラミド類を0.01質量%以上1質量%未満、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテルを5~20質量%、カプリル酸グリセリルを0.5~10質量%含有する、均一な水中油性エマルジョン組成物である。【選択図】なし
