Disclosed is an oil-in-water emulsion composition having excellent emulsion stability, which is suppressed in greasiness and skin irritation. Specifically disclosed is an oil-in-water emulsion composition characterized by containing 1-20% by mass of a powder component (a), 0.001-0.5% by mass of a cationic surfactant (b) containing two alkyl chains having 12-22 carbon chains, an oil phase component (c) and a water phase component (d). This oil-in-water emulsion composition is also characterized by having such a constitution that particles of the powder component (a) are adsorbed on oil drops dispersed in the water phase, and substantially not containing any surfactant other than the cationic surfactant (b). |
