GELLING AGENT AND GELLED COMPOSITION

摘要

Provided is a gelling agent having excellent gelling performance that is capable of dissolving at a low temperature in an oil base such as silicone oil. Also provided is a gelled composition. The gelling agent comprises an amino acid oligomer derivative. The amino acid oligomer derivative is obtained by acylation of a terminal and/or side chain of an amino acid oligomer. The amino acid oligomer is a monomer condensate comprising an amino acid monomer.
