A purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic that is able to stably maintain a good dispersion state of large oil-based particles exceeding 50 µm, or that can be put in a good dispersion state simply by being lightly shaken, without necessarily adding a water-soluble thickener, such as a carboxyvinyl polymer, to the water phase.The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic in which oil-based particles containing a solid oil and a liquid oil are dispersed in a water phase, the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic being characterized in that the oil-based particles have an average particle size of 50 µm to 10 mm, and the difference between the specific gravity of the oil phase constituting the oil-based particles and the specific gravity of the water phase [(specific gravity of oil phase) - (specific gravity of water phase)] is within a range from -0.010 to + 0.100.
