In the cosmetic container according to the first aspect of the present invention, the outer lid for opening and closing the container body and the inner lid for opening and closing the inner plate which is separately removably housed in one of the storage portions in the container body are both provided. By operating the operating part of the push piece in the closed state, the push piece rotates to release the engagement of the first hook by the first releasing part,
The engagement of the second hook is released by the second release portion. By disengaging the first and second hooks in this manner,
Both the outer lid and the inner lid can be opened. Therefore,
Since the outer lid and the inner lid can be opened all at once by a single operation of the push piece, the opening operation of the double-structured lid is significantly simplified.

Further, in the cosmetic container according to claim 2,
Since the second hook is released after the first hook is released by the release timing adjusting means provided between the first release part and the second release part of the push piece, the operation part is opened after the outer lid is opened. The inner lid can be opened by further operation. Therefore, the outer cover and the inner cover can be opened in two steps by the operation amount of the operation unit, and the releasing force of the first and second hooks can be dispersed stepwise, so that the operation force of the operation unit is small.
