Cosmetic composition

A cosmetic composition comprising the following components (A) to (D), wherein the component (A) is from 0.1 to 30% by mass, the component (B) is from 0.1 to 50% by mass, the component (C) is from 50 to 95% by mass, and the component (D) is from 0.01 to 10% by mass, and a mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), (A)/(B) is from 1/5 to 5/1:

• (A) a polyalkylene glycol derivative represented by the following formula (I):
• Z—{O-(EO)a-(AO)k—H}m (I)
• wherein Z is a residual group resulting from removal of hydroxyl groups from a polyhydric alcohol having 3 to 6 hydroxyl groups, m is from 3 to 6, EO is an oxyethylene group, AO is an oxyalkylene group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and EO and AO are bonded in a block form;
• a represents an average addition mole number of EO and k represents an average addition mole number of AO, and a is from 1 to 50 and k is from 1 to 50;
• and a mass ratio of EO is from 10 to 75 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of a total amount of EO and AO,
• (B) a nonionic surfactant having a hydroxyl group and a hydrocarbon group having 12 to 22 carbon atoms and exhibiting an HLB of 3 to 8,
• (C) one or two or more oily agents selected from ester oils and triglycerides which are liquid at 25° C., and
• (D) water.
