Oil-in-water emulsion composition

An oil-in-water emulsion composition comprising:

• (A) 0.5 to 5.0 mass % of a non-emulsifying crosslinked polymethylsiloxane comprising the following components (a1) and (a2):
• (a1) a dimethicone cross polymer, and
• (a2) a non-emulsifying crosslinked polymethylsiloxane except the dimethicone cross polymer,
• (B) 0.5 to 5.0 mass % of an associative thickening agent represented by the following general formula:
• R1—{(O—R2)k—OCONH—R3[—NHCOO—(R4—O)n—R5]h}m
• wherein R1, R2 and R4 may be the same or different and represent a hydrocarbon group;
• R3 represents a hydrocarbon group that may have a urethane bond;
• R5 represents a linear or branched divalent hydrocarbon group;
• m is an integer of 2 or more;
• h is an integer of 1 or more;
• and k and n are each independently an integer of 0 to 1000,
• (C) 0.5 to 5.0 mass % of an agent for enhancing dispersion and inhibiting aggregation of said component (A), consisting of a polyether-modified silicone,
• (D) a silicone oil, and
• (E) water,
• wherein the mass ratio ((a2)/(a1)) of the non-emulsifying crosslinked polymethylsiloxane (a2) except the dimethicone cross polymer relative to the dimethicone cross polymer (a1) falls within the range of 0.1 to 2.5.
