Abstract: Composition comprising a saturated fatty alcohol, at least one fatty-chain anionic surfactant, a polyol and at least one silicone oil The present invention relates to a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition, in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, in which an oily phase is dispersed in an aqueous phase, comprising: (a) from 2.5% to 7% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one saturated C16-C22 and preferably C16-C18 fatty alcohol; (b) at least one anionic surfactant including at least one C16-C22 and preferably C16-C18 hydrocarbon-based chain; (c) at least one polyol; (d) at least 60% by weight, relative to the total weight of the oily phase, of at least one silicone oil; the fatty alcohols (a)/anionic surfactants (b) mass ratio being between 10:1 and 6:4. The composition according to the invention has the advantage of having a very soft, non-tacky texture which is fresh on application, and is thus very pleasant touse and easy to apply.
