Provided is a gel-type oil-in-water emulsion composition containing components A to F, in which A : at least one liquid oil which is selected from the group consisting of a hydrocarbon oil, an aliphatic ester and a silicone oil and a content of which is equal to or greater than 15% by mass with respect to a total amount of the gel-type oil-in-water emulsion composition; B : at least one nonionic surfactant which is selected from the group consisting of a saturated fatty acid glyceryl and a saturated fatty acid polyglyceryl and which has a Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance of equal to or smaller than 7; C : a sucrose saturated fatty acid ester; D : an ionic surfactant which has a saturated fatty acid residue as a hydrophobic group and a glutamic acid residue as a hydrophilic group; E : at least one surfactant having an unsaturated fatty acid residue; and F : water.
