[Problem] To provide a cosmetic composition that has transparency, UV-shielding properties in the UV-A region (320 nm to 400 nm), and wide-angle scattering that can scatter light uniformly over a wide range, and is inexpensive. A cosmetic composition comprising at least star-shaped zinc oxide particles having a star shape and having a main component of zinc oxide. An embodiment in which the star-shaped zinc oxide particles have fine particles having a particle diameter of 1 nm to 100 nm accumulated and aligned to have a crystal axis orientation, and branching growth, and the average particle diameter of the star-shaped zinc oxide particles is 1 μm to 3 μm, An embodiment in which the cosmetic composition is a foundation is preferred.
