PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transparent composition,in which the composition has an ultraviolet protection effect while maintaining high transparency, and moreover, the ultraviolet protection effect is improved from the level just after the application when the composition contacts moisture such as water and sweat.SOLUTION: A transparent composition has (a) ultraviolet absorber, (b) oil content with a refractive index of 1.5-1.7, (c) oil content with a refractive index of 1.3-1.5 exclusive, and (d) powder with a refractive index of 1.45-1.55. The mixture oil content of the (b) oil content with a refractive index of 1.5-1.7 and the (c) oil content with a refractive index of 1.3-1.5 exclusive is 1.44-1.56.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】透明組成物を、高い透明性を維持したまま、紫外線防御効果を有するとともに、水や汗等の水分と接触することにより塗布直後よりも紫外線防御効果が向上するものとする。【解決手段】(a)紫外線吸収剤と、(b)屈折率が1.5~1.7の油分と、(c)屈折率が1.3~1.5未満の油分と、(d)屈折率が1.45~1.55の粉末とを含み、(b)屈折率が1.5~1.7の油分および(C)屈折率が1.3~1.5未満の油分の混合油分の屈折率が1.44~1.56である透明組成物。【選択図】なし
