The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsified cosmetic having a first coating layer containing silica and further blending an inorganic fine particle powder whose outermost surface has been treated with hydrophobicity, in particular, as an aqueous thickener. An oil-in-water emulsified cosmetic with improved feel, function, and stability by containing a water-swellable substance. SOLUTION: A first coating layer containing silica is provided, and the outermost surface is hydrophobic. An oil-in-water emulsified cosmetic comprising an organic surface-treated fine particle inorganic powder (A) and at least one water-swellable substance (B).
