Composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion and uses thereof

A composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase and a hydrophilic polymer, said composition further comprising:

• (1) at least one elastomeric organopolysiloxane, and
• (2) at least one lipophilic compound selected from the group consisting of lipophilic amino acid compounds, salts thereof, lipophilic salicylic acid compounds of formula (I) below, and salts thereof:
• 6
• in which:
• R1 represents a hydroxyl radical or an ester of formula:
• —O—CO—R4
• in which R4 is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical containing from 1 to 26 carbon atoms, an amine or thiol function optionally substituted with an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 18 carbon atoms,
• R2 and R3, independently of each other, are in position 3, 4, 5 or 6 on the benzene ring and represent, independently of each other, a hydrogen atom or a radical:
• —(O)n—(CO)m—R5
• in which n and m, independently of each other, are each an integer equal to 0 or 1;
• provided that R2 and R3 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms;
• R5 represents a hydrogen, a linear, branched or cyclized saturated aliphatic radical containing from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an unsaturated radical containing from 3 to 18 carbon atoms, bearing one to nine conjugated or non-conjugated double bonds, the radicals optionally being substituted with at least one substituent chosen from halogen atoms, trifluoromethyl radicals, hydroxyl in free form or esterified with an acid containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or carboxyl in free form or esterified with a lower alcohol containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an aromatic radical containing from 6 to 10 carbon atoms.
