Provided is a cosmetic for protection against ultraviolet radiation, wherein the cosmetic has excellent storage stability, provides highly effective protection against ultraviolet radiation, feels good and does not leave a sticky feeling when used, and does not cause skin irritation. The cosmetic for protection against ultraviolet radiation contains components (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E), where (A) is 0.18-2 mass% of an ionic surfactant, (B) is 1-10 mass% of a hydrophobic amphiphilic material, (C) is 1-40 mass% of a liquid oil containing an oil-soluble ultraviolet absorbent, (D) is 0.01-6 mass% of a solid oil, and (E) is water. The cosmetic is obtained by means of a method comprising an emulsification step for mixing a composition containing components (A)-(D) with water (E) under heating to form an emulsion, and a cooling step for cooling the emulsion formed in the emulsification step at a cooling rate of 0.5-5 DEG C/s.本發明所提供的紫外線防禦化妝料，係保存安定性優異、紫外線防禦效果高、不黏膩、使用感良好、且無皮膚刺激感。本發明的紫外線防禦化妝料，係含有下述成分(A)、(B)、(C)、(D)及(E)：(A)離子性界面活性劑0.18~2質量%、(B)疏水性兩親媒性物質1~10質量%、(C)含油溶性紫外線吸收劑之液狀油劑1~40質量%、(D)固態狀油劑0.01~6質量%、(E)水的紫外線防禦化妝料，其係利用包括有下述步驟的方法獲得：將含有成分(A)~(D)的組成物，在加熱下與(E)水混合，而形成乳化物的乳化步驟；將上述乳化步驟所形成的乳化物，依0.5~5℃/秒的冷卻速度施行冷卻之冷卻步驟。
