A dispersion containing a dispersed phase comprising drops and a continuous aqueous phase, preferably in the form of gel, in which the drops comprise a fatty phase containing at least one gelling agent, and in which the fatty phase comprises at least one non-volatile hydrocarbon oil H1 containing more than 90%, and preferably more than 95%, fatty acids having at least 18 carbon atoms and preferably at least 20 carbon atoms.

Emulsion comprising an anionic acrylic copolymer and a lipophilic polymer A subject of the present invention is a composition in the form of an emulsion, preferably in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, comprising at least one hydrophilic gelling polymer chosen from anionic acrylic copolymers and at least one lipophilic polymer comprising at least hydroxyethyl acrylate units and acrylate units bearing a lipophilic group, wherein the weight ratio of the sum of all the hydroxyethyl acrylate units to the sum of all the acrylate units bearing a lipophilic group ranges from 1:30 to 1:1 and wherein the lipophilic polymer has a number-average molecular weight Mn ranging from 2000 to 9000 g/mol. The composition in accordance with the invention makes it possible to obtain emulsions which are homogeneous (the emulsion is macroscopically smooth and has no grains, after storage in a pot for 24 hours at ambient temperature (25° C.)), which have a variable viscosity (very fluid to very thick), which are stable over time, and which have good sensory properties, in particular which are non-tacky, non-shiny and non-greasy on the skin.

A water-dispersion emulsion composition containing: (A) an anionic surfactant; (B) an organopolysiloxane having at least two hydrosilyl groups in one molecule thereof shown in formula (I); (C) an organopolysiloxane having at least two olefinic unsaturated groups in one molecule thereof shown in formula (II); (D) a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol; and (E) water, where the water-dispersion emulsion composition has a milky-white appearance at 25° C. and has emulsion particles that are spherical particles having an average particle size of 2.0 μm or less. This provides: a water-dispersion emulsion composition that gives a cosmetic having reduced stickiness, excellent feeling on use, refreshing feeling, and temporal stability, and particularly excellent cosmetic sustainability, abrasion resistance, and soft focus effect; an emulsion addition-cured composition obtained by addition-curing the same; and a cosmetic formulated with the emulsion addition-cured composition.
