It is intended to provide a cleansing cosmetic composition that quickly removes makeup from the skin, is easily applicable onto the skin without dripping from the hand or running on the face during application, and can freshen the skin because of being washed off thoroughly. The present invention provides a cleansing cosmetic composition comprising (1) 1 to 15% by mass of silicone oil, (2) 1 to 15% by mass of volatile hydrocarbon oil, (3) 5 to 20% by mass of dihydric glycol, (4) 5 to 40% by mass of polyoxyethylene glyceryl fatty acid ester, and (5) 15 to 88% by mass of water, wherein the weight ratio between the silicone oil (1) and the volatile hydrocarbon oil (2) ((1)/(2)) falls within the range of 0.3 to 3 and the composition has a viscosity of 100 to 500 mPa·s at 25°C.本發明之課題為提供一種可將彩妝迅速地從肌膚清除,且塗抹時不會從手上滴落或從臉上滴落,可容易塗抹於肌膚,藉由水洗乾淨即可感到清爽潔淨之卸妝用化妝料。在解決方式上,本發明係一種卸妝用化妝料,含有:(1)1~15質量%的矽油份;(2)1~15質量%的揮發性烴油份;(3)5~20質量%的二元醇(二價glycol);(4)5~40質量%的聚氧乙烯甘油脂肪酸酯;以及(5)15~88質量%的水,並且所述(1)矽油份與(2)揮發性烴油份的重量比(1)/(2)係在0.3~3的範圍內,且25℃下的黏度為100~500mPa‧s。
