Abstract: A non-aqueous cosmetic composition contains (A) activated zeolite, (B) a polyhydric alcohol having a molecular weight not higher than 1,000, and (C) a high molecular compound soluble in the ingredient (B). When shaken upon use, the cosmetic composition permits ready and even dispersion of the zeolite, exhibits good spreadability and compatibility on the skin and can be readily applied over a wide area. Moreover, the cosmetic composition also has excellent massaging effect.
