An oil-in-water emulsion includes: 5 to 55 wt % of an oil phase consisting of at least one oil and/or one wax; 0.06 to 4.5 wt % of at least one cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte resulting from the polymerization of at least one monomer having a strong acid function, the monomer being partially or totally salified 2-methyl 2-[(1-oxo 2-propenyl)amino] 1-propanesulfonic acid, with at least one neutral monomer selected from the N,N-dialkyl acrylamides, wherein each of the alkyl groups include between one and four carbon atoms, and at least one monomer of formula (I), where R is a straight or branched alkyl radical including eight to twenty carbon atoms and 1≦n≦20, in the presence of at least one cross-linking agent; and 0.0025 to 1 wt % of xanthan gum; 0.0025 to 1 wt % acacia gum; 38.5 to 94.835 wt % of a cosmetically acceptable aqueous phase. |
