A skin cleansing composition comprising the following components (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), and (G): (A) from 0.5 to 20% by mass of an oil agent having a viscosity at 30° C. of more than 30 mPa·s, (B) from 0.5 to 20% by mass of an oil agent having a viscosity at 30° C. of 30 mPa·s or less, (C) from 1 to 15% by mass of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or more and having a residue obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from at least one hydroxyl group in sugar, reducing sugar, or polyglycerin as a hydrophilic group, (D) from 1 to 15% by mass of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 8 or less, (E) from 10 to 60% by mass of a polyhydric alcohol, (F) from 10 to 50% by mass of water, and (G) from 4 to 45% by mass of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or more and having a polyoxyethylene chain as a hydrophilic group, wherein the mass ratio of the component (A) to the components (B), (A)/(B), is from 0.05 to 30, and the ratio of the total mass of the components (A) and (B) to the total mass of the components (C), (D), and (G), ((A)+(B))/((C)+(D)+(G)), is from 0.1 to 1.5.
