It has been desired to develop a highly preservative and antibacterial cosmetic composition that can easily be applied to both emulsion and non-emulsion type cosmetics. It has also been desired to develop a method of improving a preservative and/or antibacterial effect(s) of a cosmetic composition comprising polyorganosiloxane-containing epsilon-polylysine and thereby reducing the amount of antibacterial preservative agent to be used.There is provided a cosmetic composition comprising one or a combination of two or more of polyorganosiloxane-containing epsilon-polylysine compounds obtained by reacting epsilon-polylysine with polyorganosiloxane or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, and polyhydric alcohol. |
