Abstract: The present invention provides a cleansing composition comprising the following components (A), (B), and (C): (A) 0.001 to 5% by mass of a polymer selected from the group consisting of (A-1), (A-2), and (A-3): (A-1) an acrylic copolymer comprising 10 mol % or more of a monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylic acid alkyl ester and a methacrylic acid alkyl ester, as represented by mol % based on the total monomers; (A-2) a polysaccharide derivative having a polyoxyalkylene chain having an average molecular weight of 300 to 100,000; and (A-3) a polyether polycarbonate; (B) 1 to 50% by mass of one or two or more oil agents selected from the group consisting of (b1) and (b2): (b1) an ether oil and (b2) a hydrocarbon oil having a viscosity of 18 mPa·s or lower at 30° C.; and (C) water, and comprising (D) no nonionic surfactant having HLB of 8 or more or less than 5% by mass of the nonionic surfactant.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of cleansing skin which includes processes (A) and (B) below: (A) massaging the skin using an agent which contains a water-miscible solvent, a surfactant and water, and has a continuous phase consisting of an aqueous phase; and (B) massaging the skin using an agent which has a continuous phase consisting of an oil phase, wherein the process (A) precedes, and the process (B) succeeds.
