Abstract:
A composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, which comprises at least one acrylic terpolymer obtained from the polymerization of(a) an .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer;(b) a non-surface-active ethylenically unsaturated monomer other than (a); and(c) a non-ionic urethane monomer, which is the reaction product of a monohydric non-ionic amphiphilic compound with an monoethylenically unsaturated isocyanate,wherein the weight ratio of the terpolymer to the oily phase is from 1/50 to 1/125.
