Provided are an intermediate composition and a method for producing the composition, which are simple and stable for making a change in viscosity with time, without using a cooling device having a large cost and environmental load, O/W emulsified cosmetic containing α-glue excellent in emulsion stability.nThe intermediate composition is characterized by comprising (A) a mixture of one or more higher alcohols having a carbon number of 16 or more and an anionic surfactant in a molar ratio of from 3:2 to 5:1, 20 To 80% by mass, and (B) a mixture of one or more water-soluble solvents having an IOB value of 1.5 to 3.5 and water in a mass ratio of 5:5 to 8:2, 20 to 80% by mass, 65 to 85 ° C is a liquid comprising two continuous microemulsion phases or two continuous microemulsion phases in which a layered liquid crystal is dispersed, which is a solid at room temperature. |
