A composition for external skin application, comprising a non-emulsified silicone elastomer, a polyether-modified silicone surfactant, and a hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant, in an amount of 0.1% to 8% by mass. The hydrophilic nonionic surfactant includes a glycerin derivative-type surfactant. The polyether-modified silicone surfactant is 0.3 parts by mass or more with respect to 1 part by mass of the silicone elastomer. The hydrophilic nonionic surfactant is 0.2 parts by mass or more based on 1 part by mass of the silicone elastomer. When the amphoteric surfactant is contained, the amphoteric surfactant is 1.5 parts by mass or less with respect to 1 part by mass of the glycerol derivative-type surfactant. The viscosity of the composition is 9,500 mPa˙s or less. |
