PURPOSE: To provide the title composition having excellent storage stability and free from excessive stickiness, by compounding dextrin and diglyceryl mono(or di)oleate.

CONSTITUTION: A composition composed of (A) 1W30wt% of dextrin pref. having an average molecular weight of 700W1000, (B) diglyceryl monooleate or diglyceryl dioleate, (C) a liquid oil (e.g. liquid paraffin), (D) water, and if necessary, (E) wax (e.g. microcrystalline wax). The disadvantages of a W/O-type emulsion, i.e. excessive stickiness, poor stability and appearance, etc. can be eliminated without lowering the soft feeling.
