(57) [Problem] To provide a gel ointment which can stably hold a poorly water-soluble active ingredient in a gel ointment containing water and which is non-irritating to the skin and safe. In a gel ointment containing a poorly water-soluble active ingredient and water, at least one auxiliary selected from the group consisting of glycyrrhetinic acids, glycyrrhizic acids, vitamin Es and monoterpenes is used together with a nonionic surfactant. It has been found that by including the same, it is possible to produce a safe gel ointment which is excellent in stability of a poorly water-soluble active ingredient and has no irritation. |
