PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cosmetic having a high carbon dioxide-holding property, persisting a blood circulation-stimulating effect, improving the drabness of skin, etc., free from a slimy touch and giving an excellent touch by controlling the viscosity of the cosmetic to a specific value and maintaining the carbon dioxide concentration of the cosmetic at a specific value for a specified time, when extruded. SOLUTION: This cosmetic containing carbon dioxide has a viscosity of 100-500,000 mPa.s at 25 deg.C and maintains the concentration of carbon dioxide at >=60 ppm for 15 min, after extruded. In order to maintain the concentration of the carbon dioxide, preferably a pH-adjusting agent such as citric acid or phosphoric acid is added to the cosmetic to control the pH of the cosmetic to <=7. The viscosity of the cosmetic is preferably adjusted by adding a thickening agent such as a carboxivinyl polymer. Preferably the thickening agent has a coating film strength of >=6.0×10<4> g/cm<2> .
