The present invention is a silicone compound that is represented by the formula (1) and has a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 200000. Thereby provided is a polyhydric alcohol-modified silicone compound that can provide a stable composition (emulsified product, powder dispersion, etc.) having a silicone oil and other oil as a continuous phase. RRRRSiO( (1)(Rrepresents an organic group, Ris a group represented by -Y-O-X (Y represents a divalent hydrocarbon group having 3 to 20 carbons and optionally containing at least one of an ether bond and an ester bond, and X represents a polyhydric alcohol-substituted hydrocarbon group having at least two hydroxyl groups.)； Ris a monovalent branched type organosiloxane group represented by the formula (4)； and Ris a monovalent organosiloxane group represented by the formula (5) or the formula (6).)
