This document provides information about cold creams, including their ideal characteristics, common ingredients, preparation methods, and evaluation tests. Cold creams are water-in-oil emulsions that produce a cooling sensation and act as a moisturizer. They should have a smooth texture and not be sticky, dirty, or cause skin irritation. Common ingredients include emollients like oils, emulsifiers like borax, and humectants like glycerin. Preparation involves melting and combining the oil and wax phases with the water phase. Evaluation tests assess organoleptic properties, spreadability, viscosity, and potential for irritation.
