The present invention addresses the problem of providing a dispersion liquid containing a lipid peptide-type compound useful as a low-molecular-weight gelling agent such as a lipid dipeptide or a lipid tripeptide, and a solvent capable of dissolving the lipid peptide-type compound more easily at a lower temperature. Further, it is intended to provide a dispersion liquid which can form a hydrogel by a simpler method under milder conditions (low temperature) and can give a gel having high thermal stability, and a method for forming a gel. The present invention relates to a dispersion containing: a lipid peptide compound in which a peptide part having a repeating binding structure of amino acids is bound to a lipid part containing an aliphatic group having 9 to 23 carbon atoms; at least 1 alcohol selected from the group consisting of 1, 2-alkanediol, 1, 3-alkanediol and ethylene glycol monoalkyl ether or a mixed solution of the at least 1 alcohol and water. |
