The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water-based cosmetic preparation which, when used, is ejected as a foam and which is non-tacky, is not irritative to the skin, and forms a satisfactory foam that is dense, smooth, and very elastic. The water-based cosmetic preparation is excellent in terms of foam retentivity and foam elimination. The present invention relates to a water-based cosmetic preparation which, when used, is ejected as a foam, and which is characterized by containing (A) 0.005-1.5 mass% anionic surfactant, (B) 0.01-0.3 mass% amphoteric surfactant, and (C) a water-soluble polymer. It is preferable that the anionic surfactant (A) be selected from among N-acylamino acids, N-acylmethyltaurines, and salts of these. It is preferable that a betaine-based surfactant be selected as the amphoteric surfactant (B).本發明之目的在於提供一種噴出成泡狀而使用之水性化妝料,其不黏膩、對肌膚無刺激、具有濃密、光滑且富有彈性之良好之泡質,而且泡沫持久性及消泡優異。本發明係關於一種水性化妝料,其特徵在於,其係噴出成泡狀而使用者,且包含:(A)0.005~1.5質量%之陰離子性界面活性劑;(B)0.01~0.3質量%之兩性界面活性劑;及(C)水溶性高分子。作為上述(A)陰離子性界面活性劑,較佳為自N-醯基胺基酸、N-醯基甲基牛磺酸及其等之鹽中選擇,作為上述(B)兩性界面活性劑,較佳為選擇甜菜鹼系界面活性劑。無
