PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a skin cleansing composition which is excellent in foaming or a feeling of thickness and viscosity of foam when cleansing, is excellent in smoothness and a stop feeling when rinsing, has no feeling of remaining after rinsing, and can give a moist feeling.SOLUTION: The invention provides a skin cleansing composition containing: (A) 1-8 mass% of alkyl ether carboxylic acid or a salt thereof represented by a general formula (1) in which the average carbon numbers of R1 is 10.8-12.8, 4.3-30 mass% of the component of n=0 is contained, the component of n=1 and the component of n=2 are contained in total amount of less than 40 mass% (B) 8-16 mass% of alkyl or alkenyl carboxylic acid with carbon number 9-21 (C) 0.5-7 mass% of an amphoteric surfactant (D1) cationized polymer nonionic gums and denatured nonionic cellulose. (R1 is an alkyl group with carbon number 4-22 n is 0-20 M is an H, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, or organic ammonium.)COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】洗浄時の泡立ちや泡の厚み感、とろみ感に優れ、すすぎ時の滑らかさ及びストップフィーリングに優れ、すすぎ後に残留感がなく、しっとり感が得られる皮膚洗浄剤組成物の提供。【解決手段】(A)一般式(1)で表されるアルキルエーテルカルボン酸又はその塩であって、R1の平均炭素数が10.8~12.8、n=0の成分を4.3~30質量%含み、n=1の成分とn=2の成分を合計で40質量%未満含む化合物又はその塩1~8質量%:(B)炭素数9~21のアルキル又はアルケニルカルボン酸8~16質量%:(C)両性界面活性剤0.5~7質量%:(D1)カチオン化ポリマー:ノニオン性ガム類:変性したノニオン性セルロースを含有する皮膚洗浄剤組成物(R1は炭素数4~22のアルキル基;nは0~20;MはH、アルカリ金属、アルカリ土類金属、アンモニウム又は有機アンモニウム)【選択図】なし
