Abstract
A transparent or translucent cleansing composition in the form of gel or liquid includes (A) a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant, (B) an amphoteric surfactant, (C) a water-soluble compound containing at least one hydroxyl group, (D) a liquid oil and (E) water. The cleansing composition provides an agreeable feeling during use, is excellent in spreadability and slidability upon application to the skin, and is good in penetrability into minute parts of the skin. It also avoids ready increase in viscosity even when additional water is mixed therein, can be used in massaging the skin while keeping it smooth to the touch during its application, is suitable for use even in wet environments, such as a bathroom, and can be removed with ease from the skin using only water, so that the base component does not remain on the skin. The composition is excellent in detergency and rinsability and gives users a refreshed feeling after use. The composition is also stable during long term storage, even at elevated temperatures.
