<p>Provided are ultraviolet absorbent compositions that comprise at least one ultraviolet absorbent (A) that is a compound represented by general formula (1) and at least one ultraviolet absorbent (B) wherein the absorbance at 320 nm is at least 20% of the absorbance at the absorption maximum wavelength in the 270 to 400 nm range, and the maximum absorption wavelength is no more than 380 nm. General formula (1) [Het1 represents a 2-valent 5- or 6-membered aromatic heterocyclic residue. Said aromatic heterocyclic residue can have substituents. Xa-Xd each independently represent hetero-atoms. And Xa-Xd can have substituents. Ya-Yf each independently represent hetero-atoms or carbon atoms. And Ya-Yf can have substituents. The rings bonded to Het1 can have double bonds at any position.]</p>
