Description of the Related Art Generally, a cosmetic container has a structure in which a cap for opening and closing an inlet is coupled to a case containing a cosmetic product to protect the cosmetic product and prevent foreign matter from penetrating into the container.

Cosmetic containers are manufactured in various forms depending on the type of cosmetics. For example, cosmetic containers for storing gel-like cosmetics such as hand creams take the form of tubes. The high-priced cosmetics in the form of perfume or liquid have a structure provided with a pump for discharging cosmetics by a predetermined amount by a pressing operation. Cosmetics such as cold cream or massage cream, which the user uses with their fingers, have a structure in which a cap is rotatably coupled to a case having a wide opening. In addition, the compact type cosmetic container has a structure having a case with a wide entrance for storing solid powder, a puff which can be put on the skin by the user buried in powder, and the cap is covered with the inlet.
