Oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic

An oil-in-water type emulsified cosmetic composition, comprising:

• (a) an aqueous phase;
• (b) 10 to 40% by mass of an oily phase dispersed in the aqueous phase;
• and
• (c) a powder dispersed in the oily phase;
• wherein the oily phase does not contain a silicone oil, does not contain a non-volatile hydrocarbon oil, and comprises a volatile hydrocarbon oil in an amount of 40% by mass or more with respect to the total oil content;
• and
• wherein the powder has a surface hydrophobized by a treatment with a metallic soap consisting of a higher fatty acid and a divalent metal, or by a composite treatment with a higher fatty acid and a divalent metal hydroxide.
