Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous foaming composition comprising spiculisporic acid, at least one base, at least one nonionic surfactant chosen from alkyl polyglycosides, and at least one polysaccharide, and also to the use of said composition especially in the cosmetic field, as a product for cleansing and/or removing makeup from keratin materials such as the skin, keratin fibres (eyelashes and hair) or the scalp, and also for treating greasy skin and/or disinfecting the skin and/or the scalp. The composition in accordance with the invention makes it possible to obtain a clear foaming gel, which has a good level of viscosity and good cosmetic qualities, mainly good makeup-removing power and good foam properties (start, quality, quantity, stability and persistence), in particular when it is combined with a self-foaming device. The foam obtained has a good foam start, forms in large amount and is stable over time, which gives the composition a satisfactory application time (or play time).
