Provided is a gel-forming agent characterized in that 1 to Y parts by weight of polyglycerin of a polymerization degree X is blended per 100 parts by weight of lecithin. (X and Y are numbers satisfying 3 <= X <= 20 and Y = 8.2Ln(X)-3.5). Also provided is an oily gel composition comprising 1-30 wt% of the gel-forming agent and 70-99 wt% of an oil-phase component, the oily gel composition being characterized in that the oily component is primarily composed of a non-polar oil.
