Abstract

An oil/water/oil triple emulsion is stabilized with at least one partially or completely crosslinked organopolysiloxane elastomer having at least one polyoxyethylenated and/or polyoxypropylenated chain. The stable triple emulsion can be used as a composition for topical application, in particular as a cosmetic or dermatological composition, and especially as a vehicle for active principles. The emulsion is particularly useful for cleansing and/or treating and/or protecting the skin and/or mucous membranes and/or keratinous fibers.
