FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to a composition comprising, in an aqueous medium, a hydroxylated urea compound, a nonionic foaming surfactant, and a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt, and to its uses for cleansing and/or removing makeup from human skin, the lips and/or the hair. In this regard, the composition of the invention is preferably a cosmetic cleansing composition. [0003] Additional advantages and other features of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description that follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from the practice of the present invention. The advantages of the present invention may be realized and obtained as particularly pointed out in the appended claims. As will be realized, the present invention is capable of other and different embodiments, and its several details are capable of modifications in various obvious respects, all without departing from the present invention. The description is to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] Cleansing of the skin is very important for facial care. It should be as efficient as possible since greasy residues such as excess sebum, the residues of the cosmetic products used daily and makeup products accumulate in the folds of the skin and can block the skin pores and result in the appearance of spots. One means for satisfactorily cleansing the skin is to use foaming cleansing products. [0005] One of the major difficulties in the formulation of foaming products consists in developing products that have very good foaming power to ensure good cleansing, and that can be rinsed off easily, while at the same time respecting the skin barrier, i.e. without drying out the skin. [0006] For the formulation of a product of such quality, it is necessary to use a high content of foaming surfactants to ensure a rapid, abundant, dense foam, which is easy to spread and which will be able to be rinsed off easily, and to add a moisturizer, which proves to be essential in order to have good tolerance and to ensure respect of the hydrolipid protective film and thus to avoid drying-out of the skin. [0007] Now, it has already been found that most of the compositions that have good foaming properties contain surfactants that excessively dry out the skin, and that the addition of glycerol, which is a conventionally known moisturizing active agent, makes it possible to attenuate this drying-out effect but has the drawback of reducing the foaming power of the composition (poor initiation of foaming) and of making the composition more difficult to rinse off. In addition, in order to have a moisturizing effect, it is necessary to have a certain amount of glycerol, and the foaming composition obtained has a heavy and tacky feel when applied to the skin. [0008] There is thus still a need for cosmetic cleansing compositions that do not dry out the skin and are therefore moisturizing, while nevertheless having good foaming power (good initiation of foaming) and good rinseability, and also a light, non-tacky feel when
