Skin external composition comprising crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel

An oil-in-water composition for skin external application, comprising:

• a gel particle of crosslinked hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof having a particle size distribution with D (0.5) of 30 to 150 μm in an aqueous phase;
• and
• an emulsion particle having a particle size distribution with D(0.5) of 0.001 to 30 μm in an oil phase,
• wherein the emulsion particle comprises an oil selected from methyl trimethicone or squalane,
• wherein the composition comprises cetearyl alcohol, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, glyceryl stearate citrate, and a hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer,
• wherein the oil-in-water composition has a modulus of elasticity (G′) of 300 to 9000 Pa,
• wherein the composition comprises the gel particle of crosslinked hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof in an amount of 0.01 to 1% by weight based on a total weight of the composition,
• wherein the composition has a sherbet texture, and
• wherein the crosslinked hyaluronic acid or salt thereof is chemically crosslinked by a crosslinking agent, and the crosslinking agent is 1,4-butandiol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDGE) or sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP).
