(A) from 0.02% by mass to 10% by mass of a polymer comprising 85 to 100% by mass of a1 and a2 as constitutional units:
a1: a constitutional unit represented by formula (1):

wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and optionally having a hydroxy group, or a hydrogen atom, and R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and
a2: a constitutional unit represented by formula (2):

wherein R 4 represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, and R 5 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group;

(B) from 0.5% by mass to 40% by mass of an anionic surfactant comprising: i) at least one of a compound b1 represented by formula (3) and a compound b2 represented by formula (4); and ii) a compound b3 represented by formula (5):
b1: formula (3):
R 6 -D-OSO 3 X 1   (3)

wherein R 6 represents a linear or branched alkyl group or alkenyl group having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, D represents —(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n —, in which n represents a number of 0 to 10, and X 1 represents an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, an ammonium, or an organic base,
b2: formula (4):
R 7 -E-SO 3 X 2   (4)

wherein R 7 represents an optionally substituted linear or branched alkyl group or alkenyl group having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, E represents —(OCH 2 CH 2 ) m — or —CO—O—C 2 H 4 —, in which m represents a number of 0 to 10, and X 2 represents an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, an ammonium, or an organic base, and
b3: formula (5):
R 8 -G-COOX 3   (5)

wherein R 8 represents a linear or branched alkyl group or alkenyl group having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, G represents —(OCH 2 CH 2 ) p —OCH 2 — or —CO—NH—CR 9 H—, in which p represents a number of 0 to 10, and R 9 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and X 3 represents an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, an ammonium, or an organic base; and
(C) water,
wherein a mass ratio between the sum of b1 and b2, and b3, ((b1+b2)/(b3)), is from 0.1 to 9.

2. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (A) has a weight-average molecular weight of 10,000 to 500,000.

3. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (A) has a weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 to 100,000.

5. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a mass ratio between a1 and a2, a1/a2, in the component (A) is from 20/80 to 80/20.

6. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a1 in component (A) is derived from a monomer selected from the group consisting of N,N-dimethylacrylamide, N,N-diethylacrylamide, N-2-hydroxyethylacrylamide, and N-t-butylacrylamide.

7. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein a2 in component (A) is represented by formula (2) wherein R 4 is a linear or branched alkyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms.

8. The cleansing composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (B) is at least one member selected from the group consisting of:
b1: alkyl sulfate having a linear or branched alkyl group having 10 to 22 carbon atoms and alkyl ether sulfate having a linear or branched alkyl group having 10 to 22 carbon atoms;
b2: sulfonate having a linear or branched alkyl group having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, alkenyl sulfonate having a linear or branched alkenyl group having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, linear or branched fatty acid ester sulfonate having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, dialkyl sulfosuccinate having a linear or branched alkyl group having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, and alkyloyl taurate having taurine bonded to a linear or branched fatty acid having 10 to 22 carbon atoms; and
