To provide a cylindrical cosmetic container having an inner cap incorporated inside a cap externally fitted to a container body, which allows a to-be-covered portion of the container body to be a simplified shape without convex ribs by applying a first slide resistance and a second slide resistance during the course of covering the container body from the halfway covering posture through an immediately preceding covering posture to a fully covering posture.

The inner cap 12 is formed with a first protrusion 12b located at a halfway covering posture during the course of covering the container body 1 from the halfway covering posture through an immediately preceding covering posture to a fully covering posture and applying a first slide resistance by being pressed into sliding contact with the container body 1, and a second protrusion 12c located at the immediately preceding covering posture of covering the container body 1 and applying a second slide resistance larger than the first slide resistance by being pressed into sliding contact with the upper end of the container body.
