Abstract
The invention relates to a composition comprising: a) a polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer comprising the following polymeric units A, B and C: —[—O—CH(R1)-CH2—CO—]-unit A —[—O—CH(R2)-CH2—CO—]-unit B —[—O—CH(R3)-CH2—CO—]-unit C in which: R1 denotes a linear alkyl radical having from 5 to 9 carbon atoms; R2 denotes a linear alkyl radical having a carbon number corresponding to the number of carbon atoms of the R1 radical −2; R3 denotes a linear alkyl radical having a carbon number corresponding to the number of carbon atoms of the R1 radical −4; b) an oily medium comprising a non-silicone oil chosen from ester oils, carbonate oils and nonpolar hydrocarbon oils having from 8 to 14 carbon atoms.

A composition comprising:
- a) a polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer comprising the following polymeric units A, B and C:
- —[—O—CH(R1)-CH2-CO—]— unit A
- —[—O—CH(R2)-CH2-CO—]— unit B
- —[—O—CH(R3)-CH2-CO—]— unit C
- in which:
- R1 denotes a linear alkyl radical having from 5 to 9 carbon atoms;
- R2 denotes a linear alkyl radical having a carbon number corresponding to the number of carbon atoms of the R1 radical −2;
- R3 denotes a linear alkyl radical having a carbon number corresponding to the number of carbon atoms of the R1 radical −4;
- the molar percentage of unit A being greater than the molar percentage of unit B and greater than the molar percentage of unit C;
- b) an oily medium comprising a non-silicone oil chosen from:
- ester oils, carbonate oils,
- branched nonpolar hydrocarbon oils having from 8 to 14 carbon atoms, as a mixture with a monoalcohol having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms according to a monoalcohol/branched nonpolar hydrocarbon oil ratio by weight ranging from 1/99 to 10/90;
- and
- when the polymer is such that the R1 alkyl group has from 6 to 9 carbon atoms, the non-silicone oil is also chosen from nonpolar hydrocarbon oils having from 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the absence of monoalcohol having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms;
- when the polymer is such that the R1 alkyl group comprises 9 carbon atoms, the non-silicone oil is also chosen from hydrogenated polyisobutylenes.
