An object of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water type emulsion ink composition for a water-based ballpoint pen, having improved storage stability, which does not cause phase separation even when stored at high or low temperature over the long period. Disclosed is an ink composition for a water-based ballpoint pen, comprising an aqueous phase, and an oil phase contained in the aqueous phase in a state of an oil-in-water type emulsion, wherein at least one of the oil phase and the aqueous phase comprises a colorant, and the oil phase comprises, in components composing the oil phase, an estolide which is a fatty acid oligomer in which fatty acids having a hydroxyl group are mutually condensed or a fatty acid having a hydroxyl group is condensed with a fatty acid having no hydroxyl group, or comprises an ester of the estolide and an alcohol. |
