PURPOSE:To provide the titled liq. crystal structure which is a homogeneous gel, is excellent in water-washability and touch, and is suitable for use as a base of cosmetic preparations and external preparations, by mixing a particular Guerbet alcohol-ethylene oxide adduct with a polyhydric alcohol, an oil component and water. CONSTITUTION:1-30wt% Guerbet alcohol-ethylene oxide adduct (A) having an HLB of 10 or more (e.g., polyoxyethylene octyldodecyl ether) and represented by the formula (wherein m is an integer of 6-10; and n is an integer of 10-40), 1-50wt% polyhydric alcohol (B) having three or more hydroxyl groups (e.g., glycerin), 1-90wt% oil component (C) (e.g., triglyceride of 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid), and 1-90wt% water (D) are mixed with each other in such proportions as will provide a liq. crystal structure having one phase. |
