The present invention relates to a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: a) at least one aqueous phase and b) at least one oily phase comprising at least one apolar non-volatile hydrocarbonbased oil and at least one pasty apolar lipophilic hydrocarbon-based compound and c) at least one hydrophilic gelling polysaccharide and d) at least one mixture of emulsifying nonionic surfactants comprising (i) at least one fatty acid ester of polyol and (ii) at least one polyalkylene glycol ester. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic care process for moisturizing a human keratin material, in particular the skin, characterized in that it comprises the application to the surface of the said keratin material of a composition as defined previously. The present invention more particularly relates to a cosmetic care process for moisturizing a human keratin material, in particular the skin, on contact with water (for example under the shower or in the bath), characterized in that it comprises the application to the surface of the said human keratin material of a composition as defined previously, followed by rinsing with water and wiping.La présente invention concerne une composition sous la forme dune émulsion huile-dans-eau, comprenant, dans un milieu physiologiquement acceptable : a) au moins une phase aqueuse et b) au moins une phase huileuse comprenant au moins une huile hydrocarbonée non-volatile apolaire et au moins un composé hydrocarboné lipophile apolaire pâteux et c) au moins un polysaccharide gélifiant hydrophile et d) au moins un mélange de tensio-actifs non-ioniques émulsifiants comprenant (i) au moins un ester dacide gras et de polyol et (ii) au moins un ester de polyalkylène glycol. La présente invention concerne également un procédé de soin cosmétique pour hydrater une matière kératinique humaine, en particulier la peau, caractérisé en ce quil comprend lapplication sur la surface de ladit
