Claim:
A cosmetic in an emulsified state, said cosmetic comprising: a higher alcohol, an oily component other than the higher alcohol, and polysaccharide in an emulsified state, wherein the higher alcohol comprises two or more kinds of higher alcohols, each having a melting point of 45° C. or more, in an amount of 1% by weight to 20% by weight relative to a total amount of the cosmetic, wherein the oily component is contained in an amount of 1% by weight to 20% by weight relative to the total amount of the cosmetic, wherein the polysaccharide comprises at least one of fucose, glucose, glucuronic acid and rhamnose as a constituent monosaccharide, and comprises fucose and/or rhamnose in a side chain in an amount of 0.01% by weight to 1% by weight relative to the total amount of the cosmetic, wherein a mixing ratio of two or more kinds of higher alcohols, as said higher alcohol, is such that a mixing ratio of a higher alcohol of which the content is a maximum and a higher alcohol of which the content is a minimum ranges from 1:1 to 5:1, wherein said higher alcohol comprises two or more kinds of higher alcohols selected from hexadecanol, octadecanol, eicosanol and docosanol, each of the selected two or more kinds of higher alcohols is contained in an amount of 0.4% by weight or more relative to the total amount of the cosmetic, and a total of the selected two or more kinds of higher alcohols is contained in an amount of 0.8% by weight to 20% by weight relative to the total amount of the cosmetic, wherein said polysaccharide comprises at least a polysaccharide represented by the following general formula (1) wherein said oily component comprises: an oily component (A) comprising at least one member selected from a group consisting of dimethyl polysiloxan, trimethyl polysiloxan, squalane, paraffin, isopropyl palmitate, myristyl myristate, isostearyl myristate, glyceryl triethylhexanoate, glyceryl tricaplyrate tricaprate, grape seed oil, rosa canina fruit oil, sunflower oil, olive fruit oil, avocado oil, macadamia ternifolia seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, shea oil and jojoba seed oil; and an oily component (B) comprising at least one member selected from a group consisting of beeswax, hydrogenated jojoba oil, chimyl alcohol, batyl alcohol, cholesterol, cholesteryl stearate, phytosterol, glyceryl trimyristate and glyceryl tristearate, and wherein said oily component (A) and said oily component (B) are used in combination, and wherein the weight ratio of said oily component (A) to said oily component (B) ranges from 5:1 to 10:1.
