PCT No. PCT/JP94/01609 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 1, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 1, 1996 PCT Filed Sep. 28, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/09895 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 13, 1995The present invention is directed to ultraviolet shielding composite fine particles having transparency in a visible light region, comprising (a) matrix particles comprising an aggregate of primary particles having an average particles diameter of from 0.001 to 0.3 mu m, said aggregate being formed while retaining the shapes of the primary particles; and (b) daughter particles having an average particle diameter of from 0.001 to 0.1 mu m, said daughter particles being dispersed in and supported by said matrix particles, wherein said daughter particles have a smaller band gap energy than that of particles constituting said matrix particles, and possess capability of absorbing ultraviolet light. The composite fine particles are produced by preparing a liquid mixture containing a mixture comprising starting materials for matrix particles and for daughter particles; forming droplets from the liquid mixture; and drying the formed droplets and/or pyrolyzing starting materials for pyrolysis therein. The cosmetics of the present invention contain the above composite fine particles.
