1) Creams are semisolid emulsions containing mixtures of oil and water. Vanishing creams (o/w emulsions) disappear when applied and rubbed onto the skin, providing emollient and protective action through a non-greasy residual film. 2) Ideal properties of vanishing cream include having a high melting point, being pure white in color, possessing a slight odor, and containing a low amount of iodine. 3) Vanishing creams are prepared by melting stearic acid and adding a solution of alkalis and glycerin. The mixture is stirred as it cools to 40°C, then perfume is added and the batch is left undisturbed before

against environmental conditions by forming a neither greasy

They are named so as they spread as thin oil-less film when applied
on the skin and this film is not visible to the naked eye.
They are used to hold powder on the skin and to improve
adhesion.

glycerine.
3. This solution is added to the melted stearic acid with steady
agitation.
4. Stirring is continued till the temperature of mixture drops
down to 40°C.
5. A suitable perfume is dissolved in alcohol and added to the
