A gel-like cosmetic containing astaxanthin provides an aqueous gel-like cosmetic that suppresses the occurrence of a local concentration changing portion of the gel-like cosmetic over time. SOLUTION: Astaxanthin is contained in an amount of 1 ppm to 100 ppm, trimethylglycine is contained in an amount of 1% by mass to 10% by mass, and a compound represented by the general formula (1) is contained in an amount of 0.5% by mass to 5% by mass with respect to the total amount of cosmetics. A water-based gel cosmetic in which the total content of elements selected from Na and K with respect to the total amount of the cosmetic is 0.05% by mass or more. In general formula (1), R1: hydrocarbon group, R2, R4: hydrocarbon group, R3: h + 1 valent hydrocarbon group, R5: hydrocarbon group, R6: hydrogen atom, m: 2 or more, h: 1 As described above, k and n: 0 to 1000.
