Abstract

The present application relates to a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition in the form of a surfactant-free oil-in-water emulsion containing at least one crosslinked poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid) polymer neutralized to at least 90%. The composition contains, distributed randomly: PA1 (a) from 90 to 99.9% by weight of units of formula (1) below: ##STR1## in which X.sup.+ denotes a cation or a mixture of cations, it being possible for not more than 10 mol % of the cations X.sup.+ to be protons H.sup.+ ; and PA1 (b) from 0.01 to 10% by weight of crosslinking units originating from at least one monomer having at least two olefinic double bonds, the weight proportions being defined relative to the total weight of the polymer.
