The present invention relates to the field of cosmetic compositions of emulsion type and more particularly to the field of compositions comprising a textured liquid fatty phase. Cosmetic compositions comprising a liquid fatty phase-are commonly used nowadays, in particular for cleansing, caring for, making up and/or treating the skin, the hair and the scalp. The daily use of these compositions means that those using them are always more demanding and more sensitive to the texture more generally to the organoleptic properties of these compositions. Thus, it has been noted that cosmetic compositions which comprise more than 10% by weight of fatty phase containing more than 40% by weight of non-volatile oil, are found to be advantageous for making up for the lack of cutaneous lipids in dehydrated skin, but on the other hand can pose problems in terms of sensory properties, insofar as they are capable of generating a greasy effect, sometimes accompanied by a tacky effect and/or a shiny appearance, which users do not find attractive. In addition to this undesirable effect from a sensory perception point of view, these emulsion-type compositions can show a lack of stability when they are combined with certain materials. Thus, it has been noted that the presence of large amounts of UV screens, in particular organic UV screens, in emulsions of this type can affect the stability thereof over time, or even initiate demixing thereof. The composition then becomes inhomogeneous and is no longer usable. There remains therefore, at this time, a need for emulsion-type cosmetic compositions with a significant fatty phase content, which are reproducible on demand in terms of viscosity, which are devoid of any fatty, tacky and shiny nature, and which have improved stability, in particular when they contain materials of organic UV screen type. The principal object of the present invention is precisely to meet these needs. In this regard, the inventors have, unexpectedly, noted that it is possible to obtain such emulsions, with the proviso of using therein, by way of emulsifier, a particular gemini surfactant in combination with at least one specific semi-crystalline polymer. Document EP1 502 582 describes compositions comprising at least one gemini surfactant and at least one associative polymer, said compositions being fluid and emulsified and containing a photoprotective system capable of screening UV rays. Documents WO 2007/054824, WO 03/024412 and WO 2004/105704 describes moreover, oil-in-water compositions for topical application, comprising at least one gemini surfactant. Furthermore, documents FR 2 863 889 and EP 1 331 000 describe compositions which use semi-crystalline polymers. However, none of there documents either describes or suggests the use of the combination of the invention in the galenical architecture more particularly targeted, namely comprising more than 10% by weight of fatty phase containing more than 40% by weight of non-volatile oil. More specifically, a subject of the invention is a cosmetic or dermatological composition of oil-in-water type comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one gemini surfactant of formula (I): in which: - R1 and R3 denote, independently of one another, an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 25 carbon atoms; - R2 denotes a spacer consisting of a linear or branched alkylene chain containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms; - X and Y denote, independently of one another, a -(C2H4O)a-(C3H6O)bZ group where • Z denotes a hydrogen atom or a radical -CH2-COOM, -SO3M, -P(O)(OM)2, -C2H4-SO3M, -C3H6-SO3M or -CH2(CHOH)4CH2OH, where M, M' represent H or an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth metal ion, an ammonium ion or alkanolammonium ion, • a ranges from 0 to 15, • b ranges from 0 to 10, and • the sum of a + b ranges from 1 to 25; and - n ranges from 1 to 10, in combination with an effective amount of at least one semi-crystalline polymer which is solid at ambient temperature and which has a melting point of below 70°C, comprising a) a polymeric backbone and b) at least one crystallizable organic side chain and/or one crystallizable organic block which is part of the backbone of said polymer, said polymer having a number-average molecular mass greater than or equal to 2000, said emulsion having a proportion of fatty phase greater than 10% by weight relative to the total weight of said composition and comprising more than 40% by weight of non-volatile oil(s) relative to the total weight of said fatty phase. The combination according to the invention makes it possible to obtain emulsions which are very homogeneous, which have increased stability and which are therefore compatible with the formulation of materials known to naturally have a destabilizing effect with respect to the known conventional emulsions, and in particular organic UV screens. In addition, the emulsions stabilized by the combination in accordance with the invention have a texture which is very pleasant to the touch. They are soft and give a feeling of lightness when they are applied to the skin." The term "physiologically acceptable medium" is understood to mean a medium compatible with human keratin materials, such as the skin, the mucus membranes, the nails, the scalp and/or the hair. Thus, the physiologically acceptable medium is in particular a cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable medium, i.e. with no unpleasant odour, colour or appearance, and which does not generate any tingling, tautness or redness unacceptable,to the user. The composition used according to the invention may be intended for cosmetic or pharmaceutical use, particularly dermatological use. Preferably, the composition according to the invention is intended for cosmetic use. It may be used for caring for or making up keratin materials. A composition according to the invention is in particular suitable for topical application to a keratin material, and in particular the skin. Thus, it may be used as a skincare product, for example as a protection, treatment or care cream for the face, for the hands or for the body, such as a body milk for protecting or caring for the skin, the scalp or the mucus membranes, or as a hygiene product, for example as a makeup-removing product for the skin or the mucus membranes, or else as a hair product, or more particularly as a suntan product. The compositions according to the invention may also constitute products for making up the skin and/or the hair, for example by incorporating therein pigments in order to constitute in particular foundations. Thus, a subject of the invention is also the cosmetic use of the composition as defined above, as a skincarc product, as a hygiene product, as a hair product, as a suntan product or as a makeup product. The invention futures relates to a cosmetic method for making up and/or for the non therapeutic care of keratin materials, such as skin, scalp, hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, nails and mucous membranes, wherein it comprises at least a step of applying to keratin materials a composition according to the present invention, Another subject of the invention is a process for the treatment, in particular cosmetic treatment, of a keratin material, such as the skin, scalp, hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, nails or mucus membranes, characterized in that a composition as defined above is applied to the keratin material. Other subjects, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the present invention will emerge more clearly on reading the description and the examples which follow.

As a variant, the gemini surfactant according to the invention may be used as a mixture with an anionic surfactant such as a lauric acid ester, sodium lauryl lactate. In this case, the gemini surfactant preferably represents from 30% to 50% by weight, and the anionic surfactant represents from 50% to 70% by weight, relative to the total weight of the mixture. The gemini surfactant may be used, for example, as a mixture with other surfactants in the form of products sold by the company Sasol under the name Ceralution®, and in particular the following products: • Ceralution® H: Behenyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate and Sodium Dicocoylethylenediamine PEG-15 Sulfate, • Ceralution® F: Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate and Sodium Dicocoylethylenediamine PEG-15 Sulphate, • Ceralution® C: Aqua, Capric/Caprylic triglyceride, Glycerin, Ceteareth-25, Sodium Dicocoylethylenediamine PEG-15 Sulfate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Behenyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Gum Arabic, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Methyl paraben, Ethyl paraben, Butyl paraben, Isobutyl paraben (INCI names).

Semi-crystalline polymer The semi-crystalline polymer used in the composition of the invention is generally introduced into the liquid fatty phase of the emulsion. For the purpose of the invention, the term "semi-crystalline polymer" is intended to mean polymers comprising a crystallizable portion, pendant chain or block in the backbone, and an amorphous portion in the backbone, and having a first-order reversible phase change temperature, in particular melting temperature (solid-liquid transition). For the purpose of the invention, the term "polymers" is intended to mean compounds comprising at least 2 repeating units, preferably at least 3 repeating units, and more especially at least 10 repeating units. When the crystallizable portion is a block of the polymer backbone, the chemical nature of this crystallizable block is different from that of the amorphous blocks,; the semi-crystalline polymer is, in this case, a block polymer, for example of the diblock, triblock or multiblock type. Advantageously, the semi-crystalline polymer(s) of the composition of the invention has (have) a number-average molecular mass Mn of greater than or equal to 2000, ranging, for example, from 2000 to 800 000, preferably from 3000 to 500 000, for- example from 4000 to 150 000, and better still from 4000 to 99 000. In the composition according to the invention, the semi-crystalline polymers are advantageously soluble in the fatty phase to at least 1% by weight, at a temperature above their melting point. Outside the crystallizabled chains or blocks, the blocks of the polymers are amorphous. For the purpose of the invention, the term "crystallizable chain or block" is intended to mean a chain or block which, if it was alone, would pass from the amorphous state to the crystalline state, reversibly, depending on whether the temperature . is above or below the melting point. For the purpose of the invention, a chain is a group of atoms that is pendant or lateral relative to the backbone of the polymer. A block is a group of atoms belonging to the backbone, this group constituting one of the repeating units of the polymer. Preferably, the polymer backbone of the semi-crystalline polymers is soluble in the liquid fatty phase. Preferably, the semi-crystalline polymers used in the composition of the . invention have a melting point (or melting temperature) Tm of less than 70°C, preferably less than 50°C, this temperature being at least equal to the temperature of the keratin support that is to receive the composition according to the invention. The semi-crystalline polymer has a melting point Tm such that 25°C ≤ Tm 30°C ≤ Tm and in particular using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Preferably, the crystallizable blocks or chains of the semi-crystalline polymers represent at least 30% of the total weight of each polymer, and better still at least 40%. The semi-crystalline polymers of the invention comprising crystallizable blocks are block or multiblock polymers. They can be obtained by polymerization of monomers containing reactive doubles bonds (ethylenic bonds) or by a polycondensation. When the polymers of the invention are polymers comprising crystallizable side chains, said polymers are advantageously in random form. Preferably, the semi-crystalline nolvmers of the invention are of synthetic origin. In addition, they do not comprise a polysaccharide backbone. The semi-crystalline polymers that can be used in the invention are in particular: 1) block copolymers of polyolefins of controlled crystallization, the monomers of which are described in document EP-A-951897; 2) polycondensates and especially aliphatic or aromatic polyester polycondensates, and aliphatic/aromatic copolyesters; 3) homopolymers or copolymers bearing at least one crystallizable side chain, and homopolymers or copolymers bearing in the backbone at least one crystallizable block, for instance those described in document US-A-5, 156, 911; 4) homopolymers or copolymers bearing at least one crystallizable side chain comprising one (or more) fluoro group(s), as described in document WO-A-01/19333; 5) and mixtures thereof. In the last two cases (3 and 4), the crystallizable block(s) or side chain(s) is (are) hydrophobic. Crystalline polymers comprising crystallizable side chains or bearing in the backbone at least one crystallizable block are described below. A) Semi-crystalline polymers comprising crystallizable side chains Mention may in particular be made of those defined in documents US-A- 5,156,911 and WO-A-01/19333. They are homopolymers or copolymers comprising from 50% to 100% by weight of units resulting from the polymerization of one or more monomers bearing crystallizable hydrophobic side chain(s). These homopolymers or copolymers are of any nature provided that they meet the conditions indicated hereinafter with, in particular, the characteristic of being soluble or dispersible in the liquid fatty phase by heating above their melting point Tm. They may result: - from the polymerization, especially free-radical polymerization, of one or more monomers comprising reactive ethylenic double bond(s) with respect to a polymerization, i.e. comprising a vinyl, (meth)acrylic or allylic group; - from the polycondensation of one or more monomers bearing coreactive groups (carboxylic acid, sulphonic acid, alcohol, amine or isocyanate), such as, for example, polyesters, polyurethanes, polyethers, polyureas or polyamides. a) In general, the crystallizable units (chains or blocks) of the semi-crystalline polymers according to the invention are obtained from monomer(s) comprising crystallizable block(s) or chain(s), used for the production of the semi-crystalline polymers. These polymers are chosen in particular from homopolymers and copolymers resulting from the polymerization of at least one monomer comprising a crystallizable chain or chains which may be represented by the formula X: where M represents an atom of the polymer-skeleton, S represents a. spacer and C represents a crystallizable group. The crystallizable chains "-S-C" may be aliphatic or aromatic, and optionally fluorinated or perfluorinated. "S" in particular represents a linear or branched or cyclic group (CH2)n or (CH2CH2O)n or (CH2O), n being an integer ranging from 0 to 22. Preferably, "S" is a linear group. Preferably, "S" and "C" are different. When the crystallizable chains are aliphatic (alkyl) chains, they comprise at least 11 carbon atoms and not more than 40 carbon atoms and better still not more than 24 carbon atoms. They are in particular alkyl chains containing at least 12 carbon atoms, and are preferably alkyl chains containing from 14 to 24 carbon atoms (C14-C24). They may be hydrocarbon-based alkyl chains (carbon and hydrogen atoms) or fluoroalkyl or perfluoro- alkyl chains (carbon atoms, fluorine atoms and, optionally, hydrogen atoms). When they are fluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl chains, they comprise at least 11 carbon atoms, at least 6 carbon atoms of which are fluorinated. As examples of semi-crystalline polymers or copolymers comprising crystallizable chain(s), mention may be made of those resulting from the polymerization of at least one monomer comprising a crystallizable chain chosen from saturated C14-C24 alkyl (meth)acrylates (C14-C24 means that the alkyl group contains from 14 to 24 carbon atoms); C11-C15 perfluoroalkyl (meth)acrylates (alkyl group with 11 to 15 carbon atoms); C14 to C24 N-alkyl(meth)acrylamides with or without a fluorine atom (alkyl group with 14 to 24 carbon atoms); vinyl esters comprising C14 to C24 alkyl or perfluoroalkyl chains (alkyl group with 14 to 24 carbon atoms), with a perfluoroalkyl chain containing at least 6 fluorine atoms; vinyl ethers comprising C14 to C24 alkyl or perfluoroalkyl chains (alkyl group with 14 to 24 carbon atoms), with a perfluoroalkyl chain containing at least 6 fluorine atoms; C14 to C24 alpha-olefins (alkyl group with 14 to 24 carbon atoms), such as, for example, octadecene; C14 to C24 para-alkylstyrenes (alkyl group with 14 to 24 carbon atoms), and mixtures thereof. For the purpose of the invention, the term "alkyl" is intended to mean a saturated group in particular containing from 8 to 24 carbon atoms (C8 to C24), unless otherwise mentioned. When the polymers result from a polycondensation, the hydrocarbon-based and/or fluorinated crystallizable chains as defined above are borne by a monomer which may be a diacid, a diol, a diamine or a diisocyanate. When the polymers used in the composition of the invention are copolymers, they also contain from 0 to 50% of groups Y or Z resulting from the copolymerization: a) with Y which is a polar or nonpolar monomer or a mixture of the two: - when Y is a polar monomer, it is either a monomer bearing polyoxyalkylenated (in particular oxyethylenated and/or oxypropylenated) groups, a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate such as hydroxyethyl acrylate, (meth)acrylamide, an N-alkyl(meth)acrylamide, an N,N-dialkyl(meth)acrylamide such as, for example, N,N-diisopropylacrylamide or N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), N-vinylcaprolactam, or a monomer bearing at least one carboxylic acid group, for instance (meth)acrylic acid, crotonic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid or fumaric acid or bearing a carboxylic acid anhydride group, for instance maleic anhydride, and mixtures thereof. - When Y is a nonpolar monomer, it may be an ester of the linear, branched or cyclic alkyl (meth)acrylate type, a vinyl ester, an alkyl vinyl ether, an alpha-olefin, styrene or styrene substituted with an alkyl group containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms (C1 to C10), for instance a-methylstyrene, or a macromonomer of the polyorganosiloxane type containing vinylic unsaturation; P) with Z which is a polar monomer or a mixture of polar monomers, Z having the same definition as the "polar Y" defined above. Preferably, the semi-crystalline polymers comprising a crystallizable side chain are chosen from alkyl (meth)acrylate or alkyl(meth)acrylamide homopolymers with an alkyl group as defined above, and in particular of C14-C24; the copolymers of these monomers with a hydrophilic monomer preferably different in nature from (meth)acrylic acid; and mixtures thereof. They may be, for example, as copolymers, copolymers of alkyl (meth)acrylate or of alkyl(meth)acrylamide with a C14 to C24 alkyl group, with N-vinylpyrrolidone, hydroxy ethyl (meth)acrylate; or mixtures thereof. B) Polymers bearing in the backbone at least one crystallizable block These are again polymers that are soluble or dispersible in the liquid fatty phase by heating above their melting point Tm. These polymers are in particular block copolymers consisting of at least 2 blocks of different chemical nature, one of which is crystallizable. The following may be used: 1) the polymers defined in document US-A-5, 156, 911; 2) block copolymers of olefin or of cycloolefin comprising a crystallizable chain, such as those derived from block polymerization of: - cyclobutene, cyclohexene, cyclooctene, norbornene (i.e. bicyclo(2,2,l)hept- 2-ene), 5-methylnorbornene, 5-ethylnorbornene, 5,6-dimethylnorbornene, 5,5,6-trimethyl- norbornene, 5-ethylidenenorbornene, 5-phenylnorbornene, 5-benzylnorbornene, 5-vinyl- norbomene, l,4,5,8-dimethano-l,2,3,4,4a,5,8a-octahydronaphthalene, dicyclopentadiene, or mixtures thereof; - with ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 3-methyl-1-butene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl- 1-pentene, 1-octene, 1-decene or 1-eicosene, or mixtures thereof. These block copolymers may in particular be (ethylene/norbornene) block copolymers and (ethylene/propylene/ethylidenenorbornene) block terpolymers. Those resulting from the block copolymerization of at least 2 C2-C16 and better still C2-C12 a-olefins, such as those mentioned above and in particular block bipolymers of ethylene and of 1 -octene, may also be used. 3) Copolymers containing at least one crystallizable block, the rest of the copolymer being amorphous (at room temperature). These copolymers may also have two crystallizable blocks of different chemical nature. The preferred copolymers are those simultaneously containing at room temperature a crystallizable block and an amorphous block that is both hydrophobic and lipophilic sequentially distributed; mention may, for example, be made of polymers containing one of the crystallizable blocks below and one of the amorphous blocks below: . Naturally crystallizable block: a) polyester, for instance poly(alkylene terephthalate), b) polyolefin, for instance polyethylenes or polypropylenes. . Amorphous or lipophilic block, for instance amorphous polyolefms or amorphous copoly(olefins) such as poly(isobutylene), hydrogenated polybutadiene or hydrogenated poly(isoprene). As examples of such copolymers comprising a crystallizable block and an amorphous block, mention may be made of: α) poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(butadiene) block copolymers, preferably used in hydrogenated form, such as those described in the article "Melting behavior of poly(ε- caprolactone)-block-polybutadiene copolymers" by S. Nojima, Macromolecules, 32, 3727- 3734(1999). β) Block or multiblock hydrogenated poly(butylene terephthalate)- b-poly(isoprene) block copolymers, mentioned in the article "Study of morphological and mechanical properties of PP/PBT" by B.

Richter et al., Macromolecules, 30, 1053-1068 (1997). δ) The poly(ethylene)-b-poly(ethylethylene) block copolymers mentioned in the general article "Crystallization in, block copolymers" by I.W. Hamley, Advances in Polymer Science, Vol. 148, 113-137 (1999). The semi-crystalline polymers of the composition of the invention may be non-crosslinked or partially crosslinked, provided that the degree of crosslinking does not harm their dissolution or dispersion in the liquid fatty phase by heating above their melting point. This may then be a chemical crosslinking, by reaction with a multifunctional monomer during the polymerization. It may also be physical crosslinking which may then be due either to the establishment of bonds of hydrogen type or dipolar type between groups borne by the polymer, such as, for example, the dipolar interactions between carboxylate ionomers, these interactions being of small amount and borne by the polymer backbone; or to a phase separation between the crystallizable blocks and the amorphous blocks borne by the polymer. Preferably, the semi-crystalline polymers of the composition according to the invention are non-crosslinked. By way of specific example of a semi-crystalline polymer that can be used in the composition according to the invention, mention may be made of the Intelimer® products from the company Landec described in the brochure "Intelimer® polymers". These polymers are in solid form at ambient temperature (25°C). They bear crystallizable side chains and have the monomer of above formula X. Mention may in particular be made of "Landec IP22", having a melting point Tm of 56°C, which is an impermeable, non-sticky product that is viscous at ambient temperature.

In particular, the semi-crystalline polymer and the gemini surfactant may be present in a composition according to the invention in a semi-crystalline polymer(s)/gemini surfactant(s) weight ratio ranging from 1 to 10, in particular ranging from 1.5 to 9. Fatty phase As previously specified, the composition is an oil-in-water emulsion, the fatty phase of which may range from 10% to 50% by weight, in particular from 15% to 45% by weight, and preferably from 20% to 40% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

The examples which appear hereinafter are given by way of nonlimiting illustration of the field of the invention. - The gemini surfactant used in the examples hereinafter is a mixture of Behenyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate and Sodium Dicocoylethylenediamine PEG-15 Sulfate sold by the company Sasoc under the name Ceralution ®H. - The semi-crystalline polymer used is a poly(stearyl acrylate) sold by the company Landec under the name Intelimer IPA 13-1. Example 1 A cosmetic composition in accordance with the invention and the detailed formulation of which is provided hereinafter in Table I, is prepared and its properties in terms of stability and sensory quality are tested. Its stability over time is assessed at the end of a period of storage in which said composition is left to stand for 2 months at a temperature of respectively 37°C then 45°C. By way of comparison, two other formulations were prepared, in which the gemini surfactant is replaced with either a 12/46/42 mixture of cetylstearylglucoside and of cetyl and stearyl alcohols sold by SEPPIC under the name Montanov® (control 1), or polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate sold by Goldschmidt under the name Tegocare 450® (control 2). The corresponding formulations are also given in Table I below. In terms of stability, only the emulsion in accordance with the present invention is satisfactory. Examination under a microscope makes it possible to observe a fine and regular emulsion, unlike the control formulations, the emulsions of which are coarser and more irregular. These same results are confirmed by macroscopic evaluation. The control formulations exhibit, after two months of storage, whether at 37°C or at 45°C, a heterogeneous texture with masses visible to the naked eye. Only the formulation according to the invention remains smooth and fine. The combination according to the invention manifestly ensures a better dispersion of the silica fillers and effectively prevents agglomeration thereof. Procedure After homogenization of the various phases, the oily phase is dispersed in the aqueous phase with stirring at 75 °C. A firm cream, which is fondant on application and provides intense nutrition and moisturization without an unpleasant greasy film is obtained. The composition is also stable after storage for 2 months at 25°C and 37°C. Example 3 Table 2 gives the composition of a formulation in accordance with the invention. This table also reports a control formula in which the poly(stearyl acrylate) is replaced with beeswax. Each composition was conserved for 2 months at temperatures of 25°C, 27°C and 45°C. Examination with the naked eye shows that the composition according to the invention is homogeneous and smooth, whereas the control composition exhibits masses and is therefore heterogeneous, thereby demonstrating that the presence of poly(stearyl acrylate) makes it possible to obtain a stable composition. Examination under a microscope after 2 months of storage at 45°C shows that the composition according to the invention is fine, whereas the control composition exhibits zones where the oil droplets have collapsed and therefore a heterogeneity. Moreover, the composition applied to the skin does not give a greasy feeling, or a shiny effect. WE CLAIM : 1.
