(57) An object of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion composition which has a low viscosity and is stable over time, using a silicone oil, particularly a silicone oil containing a highly polymerized polysiloxane as an oil phase. SOLUTION: (1) an amphipathic substance-cationic surfactant-an amphipathic substance and a cationic surfactant selected from those capable of forming a gel in a water system at room temperature or higher, and (2) a silicone oil. And (3) water, wherein the amphipathic substance and the surfactant are substantially all present at the oil droplet interface, and the viscosity of the system is 30 cps or less. Also, the viscosity of silicone oil is 500 cps It is characterized by the following. |
