The composition contains, in physiologically acceptable medium, at least one aqueous phase, at least one sugar and/or sugar derivative (preferably in amount 0.1-20 wt.%) and, in aqueous phase, an aqueous suspension of particles (preferably of size 0.1-500 ppm) of at least partially crosslinked organo-polysiloxane elastomer (these suspended particles amount to 0.1-30 wt.% per total weight of composition). Composition preferably has form of oil/water or water/oil emulsion, with content of oil phase equal 1-50 wt.%. Independent claims are also included for: (1) use of the claimed composition for treatment, protection, care, make-up removal and/or cleaning of skin, lips and/or hair; (2) a process for cosmetic treatment of skin, hair and/or lips, comprising application of the claimed composition (3) use of the claimed composition for preparation of a composition for treatment of dry skin and/or lips and/or sensitive skin; and (4) use of aqueous suspension of particles of at least partially crosslinked solid organo-polysiloxane elastomer in the composition containing at least one sugar and/or sugar derivative, to eliminate stickiness caused by presence of sugar or its derivative.
