A cosmetic cleansing agent includes biosurfactants, serving as the surfactants, in combination with an anionic surfactant and a thickener. The cosmetic cleansing agent in total includes less than 0.1 wt. %. polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, ethylene oxide-containing compounds, and propylene oxide-containing compounds. A cosmetic cleansing agent having excellent foaming properties and cleansing properties may thus be provided, even though no, or substantially no, foam-promoting ethylene oxide-containing surfactants are present.
