The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lip cosmetic which has a high transparency without giving unnatural whiteness and exerts a remarkable effect of ultraviolet ray protection over a broad wavelength range including the UVA and UVB regions. The present invention relates to a lip cosmetic comprising (A) at least 5% by mass of UV absorbers； wherein said (A) UV absorbers comprises (A1) at least one UV absorber selected from a group consisting of octocrylene, dimethicodiethylbenzalmalonate and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, and (A2) ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate； (B) a high-viscosity oil component in a range of 30% by mass to 70% by mass thereof； (C) a low-viscosity oil component in a range of 20% by mass to 40% by mass thereof, and (D) titanium dioxide and zinc oxide of which a total content is at most 0.5% by mass thereof； wherein a sun-protection-factor (SPF) of said lip cosmetic is at least 20, and a critical wavelength thereof is at shortest 370nm.
