PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple and easy method to manufacture spherical polylactic acid fine particles suitable for skin care application such as cosmetics, face-wash agent and body soap.SOLUTION: A manufacturing method of polylactic acid fine particles includes the steps of: forming droplets by mixing polylactic acid solution obtained by dissolving polylactic acid in which the content of a D body is 10% or more in a solvent and polyvinyl alcohol water solution in which the saponification degree is 68-85%, and stirring; getting polylactic acid fine particle aqueous dispersion by removing the solvent from the droplets by decompression; and getting the polylactic acid fine particles by removing water from the polylactic acid fine particle aqueous dispersion.SELECTED DRAWING: None
