An inorganic blue phosphor that is composed of an element that is not concerned about adverse effects on the human body and that is excellent in touch when applied to the skin. A compound represented by the general formula CaaPbOc (3.2 ≦ a ≦ 5.0, b = 2, c = a + 5) has a Ce content of 0.0005 to 0.05 (based on 1 mol of phosphorus in the molecule). A phosphor for cosmetics, which is a complex oxide having a molar ratio of 1 to 10 μm.
