Provided is an ultraviolet scattering agent characterized by comprising at least one type of elliptical or needle-like polymer particle A, wherein (1) the average (L AV ) of the long axis (L) in a two-dimensional projection diagram obtained by radiating light from a direction perpendicular to the long-axis direction is 0.1 to 80 μm, (2) the average (D AV ) of the short axis (D) in a two-dimensional projection diagram obtained by radiating light from a direction perpendicular to the long-axis direction is 0.05 to 40 μm, and (3) the average (P AV ) of the aspect ratio (L/D) calculated from the long axis (L) and the short axis (D) is 2 to 30. |
