Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition in the form of a fatty phase-in-water emulsion comprising a first solid fatty substance with a hardness, at 25° C., ranging from 0.2 to 2 MPa; a second solid fatty substance with a hardness, at 25° C., ranging from 5 to 15 MPa; and an associative aqueous gelling polymer. Application to the cosmetic treatment of the skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oil/oil emulsion comprising at least: —a first oily phase comprising at least a first non-volatile oil chosen from silicone oils, hydrocarbon-based oils and fluoro oils, —a second oily phase comprising at least a second volatile or non-volatile oil, which is immiscible with the first oil(s) at room temperature, —solid microparticles having at least one curved part and at least one breakage of curvature of the said curved part. The invention also relates to a cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one such oil/oil emulsion. Finally, the invention relates to the use of solid microparticles having at least one curved part and at least one breakage of curvature of the said curved part, for stabilizing an oil/oil emulsion as has just been described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrocolloid blend which exhibits an innovative texture in compositions. The blend consists essentially of a waxy starch which has been enzymatically debranched and a non-high amylose starch which has been stabilized and inhibited in a ratio of 0.8:1 to 8:1.
