The present invention provides a cleansing composition for a pump foamer that not only has excellent foam quality and low-temperature stability, but can also be easily rinsed away with a small amount of water. A cleansing composition to be dispensed by a pump foamer of the present invention is characterized by comprising: (a) 2 to 5 mass % of an ionic surfactant and (b) 20 to 60 mass % of a polyhydric alcohol comprising propylene glycol wherein at least 90 mass % of the (a) ionic surfactant is accounted for by a higher fatty acid soap having 5 to 25 carbon atoms, and an amount of propylene glycol contained in the (b) polyhydric alcohol is less than 20 mass % with respect to the entire composition.
