Emulsion-shaped cosmetic compositions comprising at least one aqueous phase and at least one fatty phase, at least one superabsorbent polymer chosen from cross-linked sodium polyacrylates and at least one surfactant of formula (I): ** Formula ** in which : - R1CO and R3CO contain from 8 to 20 carbon atoms; - R2 indicates a spacer formed from a linear C1-C3 alkylene chain; - X and Y indicate, independently of each other, a group - (C2H4O) a- (C3H6O) bZ in which * Z indicates -SO3M, in which M represents an alkali metal ion, * a ranges from 0 to 15, * b ranges from 0 to 10, and * the sum of a + b ranges from 10 to 20; and - n is equal to 1 in which said superabsorbent polymer is in the form of spherical particles having an average size of less than or equal to 100 μm in dry form in which said surfactant of formula (I) is mixed with (a) a ester of a C6-C22 fatty acid and glycerol, (b) a diester of a C6-C22 fatty acid and citric acid and glycerol, and (c) a C10-C30 fatty alcohol. |
