The present invention is a cosmetic composition comprising, component (A)
and component (B), wherein, (A) is carboxylic acid ester of inulin and/or
hydrolyzed inulin whose degree of substitution by acyl group is larger
than 1, and (B) is cyclic silicone oil, and the present invention is the
oily cosmetic compound further containing oleophilic component. More over,
the present invention is the W/O type emulsified cosmetic composition
prepared by further adding aqueous component and an emulsifier to above
mentioned cosmetic compound. In the present invention, acyl group
composing component (A) is desirable to be an acyl group of carbon number
14 to 22. Further, a part or all of acyl group composing component (A) is
desirable to be palmiroyl group and/or stearoyl group. Furthermore, the
above mentioned cosmetic composition can contain dextrin carboxylic acid
ester whose degree of substitution by acyl group is 1.6 to 2.5. The cyclic
silicone oil of component (B) is at least one selected from the group
consisting of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane
and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane. The cosmetic composition of the present
invention has light feel and is excellent in stability and fluidity.
