(Test Example 5: Cleansing power)
About 0.5 g of the skin cleanser composition was taken out on the palm, lukewarm water was added, and both hands were rubbed together to create foam, and the face to which the foundation had been applied was washed. Next, the skin cleanser composition was thoroughly washed away with lukewarm water, and immediately after wiping the face with a towel, the make-up removing power (cleansing power) was evaluated according to the following criteria.
[Evaluation criteria for cleansing power]
A: Completely removed foundation B: About half of foundation removed C: Foundation not removed at all

When the skin cleanser composition (Example) of the present invention is used, it has detergency equivalent to that of conventional cleansers containing scrubbing agents and peeling cleansers, is less burdensome to the skin, and is easy to clean after cleansing. It was evaluated as excellent in smoothness. In addition, when the component (E) is contained, it is excellent in the absence of a tight feeling (Examples 1 and 3), and when it contains a glycerin fatty acid ester having 12 or less fatty acid carbon atoms, it is excellent in cleansing power (Example 3). was evaluated. On the other hand, when the component (B) was not blended (Comparative Example 1), the detergency was evaluated to be inferior to the scrubbing agent-containing detergent and the peeling detergent. In addition, when the component (C) was not blended (Comparative Example 2), the smoothness of the skin after washing was evaluated as poor.
