Abstract

A facial cleanser especially useful for the removal of eye make-up is disclosed. A combination of mineral oil, certain phosphate esters and high molecular weight carboxy vinyl polymers, in the absence of water, forms a minimally irritating clear gel having a higher rinsability than mineral oil gelled by prior art methods.
