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.
