1. A composition for administering an active ingredient through a hair follicle to a living body by iontophoresis, comprising:
- a plurality of liposomes comprising;
a cationic lipid, andan amphiphilic glycerophospholipid, the amphiphilic glycerophospholipid having a saturated fatty acid moiety and an unsaturated fatty acid moiety; and
an active ingredient carried by the liposome.
