A method for producing an aqueous cosmetic composition containing the following components (A), (B) and (C): (A) a primary amine, a secondary amine, a tertiary amine or a quaternary amine having 12 to 60 carbons in total, (B) an anionic polymer having a carboxyl group, and (C) water, and, containing: a liquid crystal constituted by the components (A), (B) and (C) obtained by mixing the components (A), (B) and (C) heating the mixture to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the component (A) to homogenize the mixture and neutralizing the component (B) with the component (A) to form a salt.
