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 polyglycerolated surface-active agent or mixtures thereof corresponding to the formula (IV): ##STR6## in which the group .brket open-st.C.sub.3 H.sub.5 (OH)--O.brket close-st. the following structure: ##STR7## in which R represents C.sub.10 -C.sub.14 alkyl radicals or mixtures thereof and n denotes a whole or decimal number from 2 to 10, 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 polyglycerolated nonionic surface-active agents are selected from the group consisting of the following polyhydroxypropyl ethers: ##STR8## where R.sub.1 denotes a mixture of C.sub.10 H.sub.21 and C.sub.12 H.sub.25 alkyl radicals.
- 4. 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.
- 5. Composition according to claim 1 wherein it is in the form of a thickened liquid, a gel, an emulsion, an aqueous-alcoholic lotion, a dispersion or an aerosol foam.
- 6. 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 thickeners, suspension-forming agents, softeners, sunscreen agents, perfumes, biocides, anti-oxidants, fluorine-containing compounds, pigments or other cosmetic adjuvants.
- 7. Cosmetic treatment process, comprising applying to skin or to hair a cosmetically effective quantity of a composition according to claim 1.
- 8. 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.
- 9. 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.
- 10. 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 agents.
