A cosmetic, dermatological and/or pharmaceutical composition, in particular for topical use, in the form of a dispersion of a discontinuous internal phase in a continuous external phase. One of the phases is an aqueous phase and the other is an oily phase. The composition contains a polyacrylic polymer and a consistency factor. The composition is free of surfactant and of preservative. A method for preparing the composition includes mixing the aqueous phase and the oily phase so as to form a homogeneous dispersion. The dispersion thus formed is sterilized by ultra-high temperature infusion sterilization.
