What is Cold Cream?

Most of the skincare products we apply to our skin tend to leave our faces feeling hot or flushed. Organic products contain ingredients that give off heat as a by-product when they are absorbed by the skin. Inorganic products on the other hand may prevent the pores of our skin from excreting waste products and that can cause our face to feel a little bit heated up. Cold cream is one of the products that will give you a cool soothing feel when you apply it. 

Cold cream has been in existence for quite a long time and it contains a mixture of water and oil in equal proportions. This emulsion also contains fragrances and thickening agents. The oil that is mostly used is beeswax and it is readily available in most cosmetic stores. Whenever you pick up any cold cream product the active ingredients that should be listed on the label are oil, emulsifier, fragrances, water, and all bound together by a thickening agent. The common type of fragrances that are used includes rose, almond, and violet. However, these are not the only ingredients that can be used to make the cream. Modern creams have adopted a variation to the formula and you can see companies substituting beeswax with either olive oil or jojoba oils. Some products also incorporate minerals for a healthier look and borax to whiten the skin.
