Claims
- 1. Cosmetic composition, containing, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, 0.1 to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of one or more nonionic alkyl polyglycoside surface-active agent corresponding to the following structural formula: ##STR6## in which R denotes alkyl radical having a straight or branched C.sub.8 -C.sub.24 chain or mixtures thereof and x denotes a number between 1 and 15, and between 0.2 and 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of one or more crosslinked copolymer of maleic anhydride/(C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl vinyl ether,
- which is crosslinked with 1,7-octadiene, the crosslinking agent comprising 1 to 5 mol % relative to the monoalkyl vinyl ether.
- 2. Composition according to claim 1, wherein the crosslinked copolymer of maleic anhydride/(C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl vinyl ether dissolved in water at a concentration of 0.5 to 1.5%, which copolymer is hydrolysed and neutralized at a pH between 4 and 11, has a viscosity of approximately between 35,000 and 180,000 cps, measured at 25.degree. C. with a BROOKFIELD RTV viscometer, with a spindle of the type TE at 10 revolutions/minute.
- 3. Composition according to claim 1, wherein the cosmetically acceptable medium is an aqueous medium which consists exclusively of water or of a mixture of water and a cosmetically acceptable solvent.
- 4. Composition according to claim 1, wherein it is in it takes the form of a thickened liquid, a gel, an emulsion, an aqueous-alcoholic lotion, a dispersion or an aerosol foam.
- 5. Composition according to claim 1, further comprising anionic, cationic, amphoteric or zwitterionic surface-active agents, anionic, nonionic, cationic or amphoteric polymers, proteins, hydrocarbon oils, silicone oils, waxes, resins or gums, acidifying or basifying agents, preservatives, active agents, other cosmetic thickeners, suspension-forming agents, softeners, sunscreen agents, perfumes, biocides, antioxidants, fluorine-containing compounds, pigments or other adjuvants.
- 6. Cosmetic treatment process, comprising applying to skin or to hair a cosmetically effective quantity of a composition according to claim 1.
- 7. Process for washing and cosmetically treating hair, comprising applying to wet or dry hair an effective quantity of the composition as described in claim 1 to wash the hair, and then rinsing with water.
- 8. Composition according to claim 1, wherein it contains between 0.3 and 3% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of crosslinked copolymer.
- 9. Composition according to claim 1, wherein it contains 5 to 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of the nonionic surface-active agent.
