Disclosed is a skin cosmetic in which the emulsion stability can be ensured even when the skin cosmetic is prepared by adding a volatile hydrocarbon oil to a water-in-oil-type emulsion composition containing a non-volatile silicone oil, and which has an excellent non-oily sensation upon application. Specifically disclosed is a water-in-oil-type emulsion skin cosmetic which is characterized by comprising (A) 3 to 25% mass of a volatile hydrocarbon oil, (B) 0.1 to 15% by mass of a non-volatile silicone oil, (C) 0.1 to 1% by mass of a polyethylene glycol mono- or di-isostearate having 4 to 12 oxyethylene groups, (D) 0.1 to 5% by mass of a polyoxyethylene-polydimethylsiloxyethyl-dimethicone copolymer, and (E) an organically-modified clay mineral.本發明之目的在於提供一種即使將非揮發性烴油分添加至含非揮發性矽油之油中水型乳化組成物時,依舊可確保乳化穩定性且具有不油膩等優異使用性之皮膚化妝料。本發明係有關於一種油中水型乳化皮膚化妝料,其特徵為含有:(A)3~25質量%之揮發性烴油分;(B)0.1~15質量%之非揮發性矽油;(C)0.1~1質量%之含4~12個氧乙烯基的聚乙二醇單異硬脂酸酯或聚乙二醇雙異硬脂酸酯;(D)0.1~5質量%之聚氧乙烯/聚二甲基矽氧乙基/聚二甲基矽氧烷共聚物;以及(E)有機改性黏土礦物。
