Abstract
Liquid cleansing cosmetic composition consisting of an oily phase and an aqueous phase, the oily phase consisting of at least one dialkylphthalate and, optionally, of dialkylphthalate-miscible products, the aqueous phase containing one or more ionic surface-active agents.

Claims6
Two-phase alcohol-free liquid cleansing cosmetic composition comprising an aqueous phase and an oily phase wherein:
- (i) the aqueous phase represents 74 to 99.5% by weight of the total weight of the composition and contains 0.2-6% by weight of the total weight of the composition of one or more surface-active agents selected from the group consisting of alkylethersulfates and 1-hydroxyethyl-2-lauryl-3-carboxymethylimidazolinium;
- (ii) the oily phase consists of 50 to 100% by weight of one or more dialkylphthalates of general formula:
- ##STR2## in which R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl residue;
- when the dialkylphthalate content is less than 100% by weight of the oily phase, the complement to 100% consists of one or more dialkylphthalate-miscible products, the one or more dialkylphthalates representing 2 to 15% by weight of the total weight of the composition;
- and
- (iii) the oily phase is in the form of microbeads which, on stirring, become suspended in the aqueous phase and, on standing, settle at the bottom of the aqueous phase.
