Emulsion containing a dispersion of bismuth oxychloride

A cosmetic composition in the form of an emulsion comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium:

• (i) at least one dispersion of bismuth oxychloride in 2-ethylhexylhydroxystearate;
• (ii) at least one soft focus agent;
• and
• (iii) at least one phenylated silicone oil having a refractive index of greater than 1.42 and a vapour pressure at room temperature and atmospheric pressure that is non-zero and is less than 0.02 mmHg (2.66 Pa) and wherein the phenyl silicone oil is a phenyl silicone of formula (VII):
• wherein R1 to R6, are each independently saturated or unsaturated, linear, cyclic or branched C1-C30 hydrocarbon-based radicals, and m, n and p are each independently integers between 0 and 100, with the proviso that the sum n+m is between 1 and 100,
• wherein a total content of bismuth oxychloride and phenylated silicone oil present in the composition is from 0.5% to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of said composition.

A cosmetic composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion comprising at least one fatty phase and at least one aqueous phase and comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium:

• (i) at least one dispersion of bismuth oxychloride in 2-ethylhexylhydroxystearate;
• and
• (ii) a phenylated silicone oil having a refractive index of greater than 1.42 and a vapour pressure at room temperature and atmospheric pressure that is non-zero and is less than 0.02 mmHg (2.66 Pa) and wherein the phenyl silicone oil is a phenyl silicone of formula (VII):
• wherein R1 to R6, are each independently saturated or unsaturated, linear, cyclic or branched C1-C30 hydrocarbon-based radicals, and m, n and p are each independently integers between 0 and 100, with the proviso that the sum n+m is between 1 and 100.
