Abstract: The present invention provides an ?-gel forming composition and an ?-gel composition that uses an ?-gel formation composition that is highly stable and that does not become colored or deposit crystals, etc. over time. An ?-gel composition includes (A) 25-50 mass % of one or more higher aliphatic alcohol and/or higher fatty acid has 16 or more carbons, (B) 40-70 mass % of a specific polyoxyethylene sterol ether, and (C) 5-20 mass % of a specific polyoxyethylene dialkyl ester and/or ether. The ?-gel composition is generated by adding water.

Abstract: An object to be solved by the present invention is to provide a composition for forming ?-gel which has a high stability with no color development or crystal deposition over time, and a ?-gel composition using the same. The ?-gel composition comprises: (A) 25 to 50% by mass of 1 or more higher aliphatic alcohols having 16 or more carbon atoms and/or higher fatty acids; (B) 40 to 70% by mass of specific polyoxyethylene sterol ether, and (C) 5 to 20% by mass of specific polyoxyethylene dialkyl ester and/or ether, and is generated by adding water.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing an ?-gel formation composition and an ?-gel composition that uses the ?-gel formation composition, wherein said compositions are highly stable, do not deposit crystals, become more viscous over time, and, when used in a preparations 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.
