Method for producing cholesteric liquid crystal layer, cholesteric liquid crystal layer, liquid crystal composition, cured product, optically anisotropic body, and reflective layer

A liquid crystal composition comprising:

• a liquid crystal compound;
• and
• two or more chiral agents,
• wherein at least one of the chiral agents is any chiral agent selected from the group consisting of a chiral agent having a helical twisting power changed depending on irradiation with light and a chiral agent having a helical twisting power changed depending on a change of temperature,
• an absolute value of a weighted average helical twisting power of the chiral agent is 0.0 to 1.5 μm−1, and
• the absolute value of the weighted average helical twisting power is 10.0 μm−1 or more in a case where a light irradiation treatment, a cooling treatment, or a heating treatment is carried out on the composition layer formed of the liquid crystal composition.
