OIL-IN-WATER EMULSION COMPOSITION

摘要

Disclosed is an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion composition which contains an oil-soluble ultraviolet absorber having low solubility, and which exhibits superior stability. The O/W emulsion composition is characterised by containing: (a) an aqueous dispersion of an oil-soluble ultraviolet absorber; (b) a compound of a non-ionic surfactant and at least one type of fatty acid soap; (c) a water-swelling clay mineral; and (d) a higher fatty acid. Component (a) is preferably an aqueous dispersion of a complex particle of an oil-soluble ultraviolet absorber and an organic polymer.
