A sunscreen cosmetic exerts stably an excellent ultraviolet shielding effect without undergoing photodegradation even in a system where 4-tert-butyl-4′-methoxydibenzoylmethane and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate coexist. The sunscreen cosmetic comprises (a) 0.5-5.0 mass % of 4-tert-butyl-4′-methoxydibenzoylmethane, (b) 3.0-10 mass % of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, (c) 5.0 mass % or more of an amphipathic substance, and (d) a liquid oil component containing an ester oil having an IOB of 0.05-0.60, characterized in that the contents of components (a), (b) and (c) satisfy the requirement 0.5≤[(a)+(b)]/(c)≤3.5.
