PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition containing a component suitable for a cosmetic and the like.SOLUTION: The composition contains (1) a compound represented by general formula (1) and (2) a compound represented by general formula (2). In general formula (1), A is a di- or tri-aromatic methyl group selected from among unsubstituted or substituted aryl groups and unsubstituted or substituted heterocyclic hydrocarbon rings and B is a hydrogen atom or a cyclic or non-cyclic, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group whose hydrogen atom or carbon atom may be replaced by a heteroatom and has a heteroatom as a bonding site to A. In general formula (2), Ris a hydrogen atom or a 1-8C linear or branched alkyl group Ris a hydrogen atom, an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic group, or a 1-4C aliphatic hydrocarbon group optionally substituted with an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic group Ris an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic group n is an integer of 1 or 2 and m is an integer of 0-3.
