The invention concerns a cosmetic, dermatological and/or pharmaceutical composition, in particular for topical use, in the form of a dispersion of an internal discontinuous phase in an external continuous phase, one of the phases being an aqueous phase and the other being an oil phase. This composition contains a polyacrylic polymer and a consistency factor, and is free of surfactants and preservatives. A method for preparing said composition comprises the mixing of the aqueous phase and the oil phase in such a way as to form a homogeneous dispersion, and sterilising the dispersion formed in this way by sterilising by ultra-high temperature infusion.
