PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oily cleansing composition excellent in usability (a makeup removal effect) and temporal stability and also in antiseptic power capable of effectively preventing secondary pollution caused by microorganisms.SOLUTION: An oily cleansing composition contains (A) 60 to 95 mass% of an oily component which is liquid at 20°C and (B) 3 to 20 mass% of a nonionic surfactant, where (B) has 0.01 to 2 mass% of a compound represented by the (B-1) general formula (1) as an essential component. (In the formula, R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 8 to 22, AO is an oxyalkylene group having a carbon number of 2 to 4, m and n representing an addition number of an oxyalkylene group are integers of 0 or 1 to 10 and the average m+n is 0 or larger and smaller than 10.)COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】使用性(メイクアップ除去効果)、及び、経時安定性に優れるとともに、微生物による二次汚染が有効に防止できる防腐力に優れた油性クレンジング組成物を提供する。【解決手段】(A)20℃で液状の油性成分60~95質量%(B)非イオン性界面活性剤3~20質量%を含有し、(B)として(B-1)一般式(1)で示される化合物0.01~2質量%を必須成分とすることを特徴とする油性クレンジング組成物。(式中Rは炭素数8~22の脂肪族炭化水素基:AOは炭素数2~4のオキシアルキレン基:オキシアルキレン基の付加数を示すmとnは0又は1~10の整数であって、m+nの平均が0より大きく10より小さい)【選択図】なし
