What is a cold cream?
The first cold cream has been attributed to the Greek physician, Galen (150 AD), who reputedly made a primitive emulsion by mixing water with molten beeswax and olive oil. It was laborious to make – requiring a great deal of mixing – and tended to separate on standing. Generally, cold creams have a high proportion of fatty and oily materials in the formulation, and offer a pleasant cooling, nourishing and comforting sensation when applied, hence the name Cold Cream.
What are the benefits of cold creams?
Cold creams have been relied on for centuries to help maintain youthful, radiant skin. With their wonderful richness, they help to deliver essential hydration and have also been known to improve the skin’s texture and appearance by softening and smoothing. Another great advantage is they are suitable for all skin types, however dry skin in particular will benefit from their impressive hydrating ability.
