Abstract: A subject-matter of the present invention is a composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion, comprising ethylcellulose; at least one first non-volatile oil which is liquid at 25° C. chosen from saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, C10-C26 fatty alcohols; at least one second non-volatile hydrocarbon-based oil which is liquid at 25° C. chosen from ethers of formula ROR? or carbonates of formula RO(CO)OR?, in which formulae, identical or not, the R and R? groups represent a saturated or unsaturated, branched or unbranched, hydrocarbon-based group comprising at most 16 carbon atoms, preferably a C3-C16 group; and also their mixtures; at least one first non-ionic hydrocarbon-based surfactant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion comprising: ethyl cellulose; at least one first non-volatile oil that is liquid at 25° C., chosen from saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched C10-C26 fatty alcohols; at least one second non-volatile hydrocarbon-based oil that is liquid at 25° C. chosen from ethers of formula ROR?, carbonates of formula RO(CO)OR?, in which formulae the R and R? groups, which may be identical or different, represent a saturated or unsaturated, branched or unbranched, hydrocarbon-based group comprising at most 16 carbon atoms, preferably a C3-C16 group; and also mixtures thereof; at least one first non-ionic hydrocarbon-based surfactant. It also relates to a method for making up and/or caring for human keratin materials, in particular the skin or the lips, and preferably the lips, in which said composition is applied.
