Thus, a single type of monoalcohol or a combination of different types of monoalcohols can be used. (b) Monoalcohol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms may be soluble in water. The term "water soluble" herein refers to an alcohol which can dissolve in an amount of 0.1 g or more, 0.5 g or more, or 1 g or more in 100 mL of water at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (105 Pa). The monoalcohol may be a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated monoalcohol containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, containing only one hydroxyl (OH) function. The monoalcohol may be an aliphatic monoalcohol having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably from 2 to 4 carbon atoms.

(Hydrophilic thickener) The composition according to the present invention comprises (c) at least one hydrophilic thickener. Two or more types of hydrophilic thickeners may be used in combination. Thus, a single type of hydrophilic thickener or a combination of different types of hydrophilic thickeners may be used. The term "hydrophilic" here refers to materials that are soluble in water at a concentration of |% by weight or more relative to the total weight of water at room temperature (25 °C) and atmospheric pressure (105 Pa). The hydrophilic thickener(s) are preferably chosen from thickening polymers bearing sugar units, such as non-associative thickening polymers bearing sugar units, non-associative thickening polymers without sugar units, associative thickening polymers, and mixtures of these compounds. For the purposes of the present invention, the term “sugar unit” means an oxygen-bearing hydrocarbon compound containing several alcohol functions, with or without aldehyde or ketone functions, and which comprises at least 4 carbon atoms. Sugar units may optionally be modified by substitution, and / or by oxidation and / or by dehydration. The sugar units that may be included in the hydrophilic thickening polymers of the present invention are preferably derived from one or more of the following sugars: glucose, galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, mannose, xylose, fucose, anhydrogalactose, galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid, mannuronic acid, galactose sulfate, anhydrogalactose sulfate and fructose. It is better to choose the thickener from polysaccharides. Thickening polymers containing sugar units that may be mentioned include native gums such as: (a) tree or shrub exudates, including: - gum arabic (branched polymer of galactose, arabinose, rhamnose and glucuronic acid); - gum ghatti (polymer derived from arabinose, galactose, mannose, xylose and glucuronic acid); - karaya gum (polymer derived from galacturonic acid, galactose, rhamnose and glucuronic acid); - gum tragacanth (polymer of galacturonic acid, galactose, fucose, xylose and arabinose); (b) gums resulting from algae, including: - agar-agar (polymer derived from galactose and anhydrogalactose); - alginates (polymers of mannuronic acid and glucuronic acid); - carrageenans and (urcellerans (polymers of galactose sulfate and anhydrogalactose sulfate); (c) gums resulting from seeds or tubers, including: - guar gum (polymer of mannose and galactose); - carob gum (polymer of mannose and galactose); - fenugreek gum (polymer of mannose and galactose); - tamarind gum (polymer of galactose, xylose and glucose); - konjac gum (polymer of glucose and mannose); (d) microbial gums, including: - xanthan gum (polymer of glucose, mannose acetate, mannose / pyruvic acid and glucuronic acid); - gellan gum (polymer of partially acylated glucose, rnamnose and glucuronic acid); - scleroglucan gum (glucose polymer); e) plant extracts, including: - cellulose (glucose polymer); - starch (glucose polymer) and -inulin. These polymers can be modified physically or chemically. Temperature is a particular physical treatment. Chemical treatments that may be mentioned include esterification, etherification, amidation, and oxidation reactions. These treatments can lead to polymers that may be non-ionic, anionic, or amphoteric. Preferably, the thickening polymers bearing sugar units are not chemically or physically treated. The non-ionic guar gums which can be used according to the invention can be modified with C1-C3 (poly)hydroxyalkyl groups. Among the C1-C8 (poly)hydroxyalkyl groups, mention may be made, by way of example, of the hydroxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl and hydroxybutyl groups. These guar gums are well known in the prior art and can be prepared, for example, by reacting corresponding alkene oxides, for example, propylene oxides, with guar gum to obtain a guar gum modified with hydroxypropyl groups. The degree of hydroxyalkylation preferably ranges from 0.4 to 1.2 and corresponds to the number of alkylene oxide molecules consumed by the number of free hydroxyl functions present on the guar gum. Such non-ionic guar gums optionally modified with hydroxyalkyl groups are sold, for example, under the trade names Jaguar HP8, Jaguar HP60 and Jaguar HP120 by the company Rhodia Chimie. Among the starches that can be used, we can cite, for example, macromolecules in the form of polymers comprising basic units which are anhydroglucose units. The number of these units and their assembly make it possible to distinguish amylose (linear polymer) from amylopectin (branched polymer). The relative proportions of amylose and amylopectin, as well as their degree of polymerization, can vary depending on the botanical origin of the starches. The botanical origin of the starch molecules that can be used in the present invention may be cereals or tubers. Thus, the starches are selected, for example, from corn starch, rice starch, cassava starch, barley starch, potato starch, wheat starch, sorghum starch and pea starch. Starches can be chemically or physically modified, in particular by one or more of the following reactions: pregelatinization, oxidation, crosslinking, esterification, etherification, amidation, heat treatments. Distarch phosphates or compounds rich in distarch phosphate will preferably be used, for example the product sold under the references Prejel VA-70-T AGGL (gelatinized cassava hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate), Prejel TK1 (gelatinized cassava distarch phosphate) and Prejel 200 (gelatinized cassava acetyl distarch phosphate) by the company Avebe, or Structure Zea from National Starch (gelatinized corn distarch phosphate). According to the invention, amphoteric starches may also be used, these amphoteric starches comprising one or more anionic groups and one or more cationic groups. The anionic and cationic groups may be linked to the same reactive site of the starch molecule or to different reactive sites; they are preferably linked to the same reactive site. The anionic groups may be of the carboxylic, phosphate or sulfate type, preferably carboxylic. The cationic groups may be of the primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary amine type. Starch molecules can come from any plant source of starch, particularly corn, potato, oat, rice, tapioca, sorghum, barley, or wheat. Hydrolyzates of the starches mentioned above can also be used. The starch is preferably sourced from potato. Starches may be optionally C1-C2 hydroxyalkylated or C1-C2 alkylated (such as acetylated). Starches may also be heat-treated. The non-associative thickening polymers of the invention may be cellulose-based polymers not comprising a C,O-Cso fatty chain in their structure. According to the invention, the term “cellulose-based polymer” designates any polysaccharide compound having in its structure sequences of glucose residues linked together via B-1,4 bonds; in addition to unsubstituted celluloses, cellulose derivatives can be anionic, cationic, amphoteric or non-ionic. Thus, the cellulose polymers which can be used according to the invention can be chosen from unsubstituted celluloses, including those in microcrystalline form, and cellulose ethers. Among these cellulose-based polymers, we distinguish cellulose ethers, cellulose esters and cellulose ester ethers. Cellulose esters include inorganic cellulose esters (cellulose nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, etc.), organic cellulose esters (cellulose monoacetates, triacetates, amidopropionates, acetatebutyrates, acetatepropionates, and acetatetrimellitates, etc.), and mixed organic / inorganic cellulose esters, such as cellulose acetatebutyrate sulfates and cellulose acetatepropionate sulfates. Cellulose ester ethers include hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalates and ethylcellulose sulfates. Among the non-ionic cellulose ethers without a C;0-Cz9 fatty chain, i.e. which are non-associative, mention may be made of (C;-C;) alkylcelluloses such as methylcelluloses and ethylcelluloses, for example Ethocel standard 100 Premium from Dow Chemical; (poly)hydroxy(C,-Ca)alkylcelluloses such as hydroxymethylcelluloses, hydroxyethylcelluloses, for example Natrosol 250 HHR marketed by Aqualon and hydroxypropylcelluloses, for example Klucel EF marketed by Aqualon; mixed (poly)hydroxy(C,-C4)alkyl-(C,-C4)alkylcelluloses such as hydroxypropylmethylcelluloses, for example Methocel E4M from Dow Chemical; hydroxyethylmethylcelluloses, hydroxyethylethylcelluloses (e.g. Bermocoll E 481 FQ from Akzo Nobel) and hydroxybutylmethylcelluloses. Among the anionic cellulose ethers without a fatty chain, mention may be made of (poly)carboxy(C,-C;)alkylcelluloses and their salts. Examples include carboxymethylcelluloses, carboxymethylmethylcelluloses (e.g. Blanose 7M from Aqualon) and carboxymethylhydroxyethylcelluloses, and their sodium salts. Among the cationic cellulose ethers without a fatty chain, mention may be made of cationic cellulose derivatives such as cellulose copolymers or cellulose derivatives grafted with a water-soluble quaternary ammonium monomer, and described in particular in US patent 4,131,576, such as (poly)hydroxy(C,-C4 Jalky] celluloses, for example hydroxymethyl-, hydroxyethyl- or hydroxypropyl-celluloses grafted in particular with a methacryloylethyltrimethylammonium, methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium or dimethyldiallylammonium salt. The commercial products corresponding to this definition are more particularly the products sold under the names Celquat L 200 and Celquat H 100 by the company National Starch. The degree of hydroxyalkylation, which corresponds to the number of oxide molecules of alkylene consumed by the number of free hydroxyl functions present on guar gum can, for example, vary from 0.4 to 1.2. Among the non-associative thickening polymers not carrying sugar units which may be used according to the invention, mention may be made of crosslinked homopolymers or copolymers of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, crosslinked homopolymers or copolymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and their crosslinked acrylamide copolymers, homopolymers of ammonium acrylate, or copolymers of ammonium acrylate and acrylamide, alone or as mixtures. A first family of non-associative thickening polymers that can be used is represented by crosslinked acrylic acid homopolymers. Non-associative thickening polymers can also be crosslinked (meth)acrylic acid copolymers, such as the polymer sold under the name Aqua SF1 by the company Noveon. The non-associative thickening polymers may be selected from crosslinked 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid homopolymers and their crosslinked acrylamide copolymers. Among the partially or totally neutralized crosslinked copolymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and acrylamide, mention may be made in particular of the product described in Example 1 of document EP 503 853, and reference may be made to said document concerning these polymers. The composition may also comprise, as non-associative thickening polymers, homopolymers of ammonium acrylate or copolymers of ammonium acrylate and acrylamide. Cationic thickening polymers of the acrylic type can also be used. Among the hydrophilic thickening polymers, mention may also be made of associative polymers which are well known to those skilled in the art and in particular of a non-ionic, anionic, cationic or amphoteric nature.
