Abstract
One embodiment of the invention relates to a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. The composition contains (a) at least one ether oil; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; and (c) water. The amount of the (c) water in the composition is 70% by weight or more, preferably 80% by weight or more, and more preferably 90% by weight or more, relative to the total weight of the composition. The oil droplet size in the composition is less than 100 nm, preferably less than 90 nm, and more preferably less than 80 nm. The composition according to this embodiment can have a good cleansing ability and a transparent or slightly translucent appearance.
