To provide a solid lipid particle emulsion which can be easily manufactured and is excellent in shelf stability.

The solid lipid particle emulsion is obtained by dispersing a lipid oil phase component comprising components (A), (B) and (C) in an aqueous phase, wherein component (A) is a triglyceride and/or a wax ester in a solid or paste form at room temperature, component (B) is a straight chain saturated higher alcohol with 12 or more carbons and component (C) is a hydrogenated phospholipid containing ≥60 mass% phosphatidylcholin. The solid lipid particle emulsion can be easily manufactured, is excellent in shelf stability and is excellent in functional characteristics when used as an external preparation.
