Among cleansing cosmetics for the purpose of removing makeup, the aqueous type cleansing cosmetics containing no oil at all or a small amount of oil have had a disadvantage that remover capability is weak even though they give reduced oily feel after cleansing. The liquid oil-based makeup remover has a low viscosity so that there has been a disadvantage in usefulness that the liquid oil-based makeup remover drips off upon taking on hand. An object of the present invention is to provide a composition for cosmetics which is excellent in usefulness, has excellent affinity to makeup soil, quickly suspends soil, and is excellent in stability and rinsability. A composition for cosmetics is characterized in that the composition for cosmetics comprises a polyglycerol fatty acid ester obtained from a polyglycerol having a hydroxyl value of 1200 or less and primary hydroxyl groups in an amount of 50% or more of the total hydroxyl groups and one or more kinds of fatty acids having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, is excellent in stability, and has a viscosity of from 100 to 5000 mPa&#xb7;s at 25&#xb0; C., and whereby the above-mentioned problems are solved.
