Water-in-oil emulsion and use thereof in a cosmetic composition

Abstract

The present invention relates to a water-in-oil emulsion, in particular a cosmetic emulsion, comprising (i) an alkylpolyglycoside having an HLB of less than 7, and (ii) at least one volatile oil. The alkyl chain of the alkylpolyglycoside preferably contains from 14 to 24 carbon atoms and can be in particular an unsaturated linear chain and/or a branched chain, and more particularly an oleyl or isostearyl chain. The volatile oil can be chosen in particular from branched-chain hydrocarbon-based oils and volatile silicone oils, and mixtures thereof. The emulsion obtained is stable and feels fresh when applied. It can be used in particular for caring for the skin, the nails and the hair, for removing make-up from and/or for cleansing the skin, and/or for making up the skin.
