Abstract:
A cosmetic composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium:(1) at least one film-forming polymer, wherein a film, obtained by drying a mixture comprising ethanol or water and said at least one film-forming polymer, at room temperature and at a relative humidity of 50%, has a mechanical profile defined by at least: (i) a degree of elongation at break (&egr;r) of greater than or equal to 300%; (ii) a recovery at 300 seconds (R300) of greater than or equal to 45%; and (iii) if the recovery at 300 seconds (R300) is from 45% to 60%, then the elongation at break is less than or equal to 1300%; and (2) at least one crosslinked thickening polymer comprising at least one (meth)acrylic acid monomeric residue, wherein said at least one crosslinked thickening polymer is present in the composition in an amount of at least 0.6% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.
