An oily composition comprising a dextrin fatty acid ester, a glycerol fatty acid ester having a melting point of higher than 20.degree. C., and a liquid oil is disclosed. The oily compositions for external application are transparent or semi-transparent, and possess excellent extendibility, adhesive c apability, and retentivity on the skin. The compositions are useful for various oily cosmetics and oily medicines for external application.

Composition for external application consisting essentially of a dextrin

A quick-drying pack-type face-cleansing composition comprises sebum-absorbing powder, water-repellant powder, a non-ionic surfactant having an HLB of 12-18, and water. The sebum-absorbing powder may preferably be powder of bentonite, kaolin, talc, organobentonite, sericite, mica, silica, silicates, zeolite, diatomaceous earth, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polymethyl methacrylate, a polymer of an acrylic acid derivative, nylon, or polystyrene.

Quick-drying pack-type face-cleansing composition

A lamella type, single phase liquid crystal composition is prepared from a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant, a water-soluble substance having a hydroxyl group in a molecule thereof, an oil substance, and water. Oil-base cosmetic compositions including cleansing compositions, massage creams or drugs for external application are incorporated with the liquid crystal. The compositions are readily washed off simply by water, and exhibit good properties of non-stickiness and long storage stability.
