The present invention provides an oil-in-water emulsified milky
skin cosmetic preparation, which is able to impart a refreshing feeling, an
astringent effect, a moisturizing effect, and a
softening effect to
skin, when it is singly used, and which is excellent in terms of
emulsion stability although it has a
high water content and a low
viscosity, presenting a milk white color. An oil-in-water emulsified milky
skin cosmetic preparation comprising (a) a
copolymer of 2-
acrylamide 2-methylpropanesulfonic acid or a salt thereof /
polyoxyethylene alkyl ether methacrylate, (b) an
alkyl modified carboxyvinyl
polymer; and (c) an alkylene
oxide derivative, and having a
viscosity at 25° C. of 10,000 mPa·s or less (Vismetron
viscometer). It is preferable that the skin cosmetic preparation comprises 0.005% to 2.0% by
mass of (a), 0.005% to 1.5% by
mass of (b), and 0.005% to 15.0% by
mass of (c). The skin cosmetic preparation may further comprise (d) oil having a
viscosity at 25° C. of 100 mPa·s or less and being a liquid at an ordinary temperature, arbitrarily. Furthermore, it is preferable that the skin cosmetic preparation comprises 55% to 80% by mass of water.
