Abstract A composition comprising; (A) a basic amino acid salt of a higher aliphatic phosphate represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## in which R 1 is an alkyl or alkenyl group having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, and (B) an α-monoalkyl glyceryl ether represented by the following formula (II): ##STR2## in which R 2 is an alkyl group having from 12 to 24 carbon atoms. The composition provides an O/W type emulsion suitable for use as cosmetics which has a small viscosity decrease at a high temperature and a small viscosity increase at a low temperature, is stable during storage over a long period of time, provides good feelings and a moisture retaining effect on use to the skin, and yet has an excellent safety.
An oil in water type emulsion composition comprising: (A) 0.01 to 5 wt.% of a basic amino acid salt of a higher aliphatic phosphate represented by the following formula (I) ##STR5## in which R 1 is an alkyl or alkenyl group having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, said basic amino acid being selected from the group consisting of arginine, lysine, ornithine, histidine, and δ-hydroxylysine, and (B) an α-monoalkyl glyceryl ether, in an amount of 0.1 to 20 times by weight of said component (A), which is represented by the following formula (II): ##STR6## in which R 2 is an alkyl group having from 12 to 24 carbon atoms.
