Abstract:
1. A composition comprising an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, polyamide fibers, spherical polyamide particles, platelets selected from the group consisting of clays, talcs, micas, and mixtures thereof, and a nonionic surfactant emulsifier selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid ester of glucose which is optionally oxyalkylenated, a fatty acid ester of alkylglucose which is optionally oxyalkylenated, and mixtures thereof, wherein the fibers have a length (L) ranging from 1 μm to 10 mm, the fibers have a cross section that is within a circle of diameter (D) ranging from 1 nm to 100 μm, the fibers have a shape factor (L/D) ranging from 5 to 150, the fibers have a yarn count ranging from 0.15 to 30 denier, the fibers are present in an amount ranging from 1% to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, the spherical particles have a particle size ranging from 0.1 μm to 250 μm, the spherical particles are present in an amount ranging from 0.5% to 25% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, the platelets have a length ranging from 0.01 to 100 μm, a width of from 0.01 to 100 μm and a height ranging from 0.1 to 1,000 nm, the platelets are present in an amount ranging from 0.25% to 25% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, the oily phase represents from 15% to 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and the composition is an oil-in-water emulsion.
