Provided is a composition comprising a hydrophobic compound (A) that comprises a hydrophobic compound (A1) and a hydrophobic compound (A2) which differs from the hydrophobic compound (A1), wherein the hydrophobic compound (A1) is a compound selected from the group consisting of modified amine, modified polycarboxylic acid, paraffin wax, and microcrystalline wax, and the hydrophobic compound (A2) is a liquid or solid oil that is not a compound selected from the group consisting of modified amine, modified polycarboxylic acid, paraffin wax, and microcrystalline wax. Thus, provided is a novel composition that makes it possible to impart liquid repellency to a base material.
