Composition for e.g. lipstick comprises fatty acid ester of dextrin as thickener and gelling agent

Composition containing a continuous liquid fatty phase gelled or thickened with at least one fatty acid ester of dextrin with a degree of substitution of less than 2 on the basis of one repeating unit, for example one glucose unit. Composition containing a continuous liquid fatty phase gelled or thickened with at least one fatty acid ester of dextrin with a degree of substitution of less than 2 on the basis of one repeating unit, for example one glucose unit. The fatty phase contains an oil or a mixture of oils that has solubility parameters deltad, deltap and deltah satisfying equation (1). (4(deltad-deltade)2 + (deltap-deltape)2 + (deltah-deltahe)2 )1/2 at most 10 (1) deltade, deltape and deltahe are the solubility parameters of the dextrin ester, the liquid fatty phase and the dextrin ester forming a physiologically acceptable medium. An Independent claim is also included for a composition containing a mixture of fatty acid esters of dextrins. One has a degree of substitution less than 2, and one with a degree of substitution greater than 2. L'invention se rapporte à une composition physiologiquement acceptable, notamment cosmétique, contenant une phase grasse liquide continue gélifiée ou épaissie par au moins un ester de dextrine dont le degré de substitution est inférieur à 2, la phase grasse liquide contenant une huile ou un mélange d'huile peut présenter des paramètres de solubilité particuliers. L'ester de dextrine permet l'obtention d'un stick qui n'exsude pas, et dont l'application conduit à un dépôt brillant, non-migrant, et de bonne tenue dans le temps.
