for dry cracked lips.
• It can also be used as a
shaving cream alternative
for men.

5. Major Ingredients
Vanishing Cream
They are oil in water emulsions.
Ingredients are:
• Steric Acid
• An Alkali (like KOH)
• A Polyol (like glycerin)
• Water in major content.

6. Composition
• Stearic acid-17%
• Sodium bicarbonate-0.5%
• Potassium bicarbonate-0.5%
• Glycerin-6%
• Water-71%
• Alcohol-4.5%
• Perfume-0.5%

7. Production
• The alkali reacts with some of the stearic acid to form a
soap which then acts as emulsifier.
• The polyol (glycerin) prevents loss of moisture.
• Sodium sterate crystals gives pearly shine .
STEP 1-Melt stearic acid
STEP 2-Mix water , NaOH and glycerin and heat to the
same temperature as stearic acid
STEP 3-Mix both the melts together an stir till it becomes
creamy.

8. Major Ingredients
Cold cream
Type of Emulsion - Water in Oil
Beeswax acts as base for the cream.
Borax is used as a preservative.
For 100g of cold cream:
• White beeswax-20g
• Mineral oil-50g
• Water-28.8g
• Borax-0.7g
• Perfume-0.5g

9. Special Ingredients
Alpha hydroxy acids( Lactic Acid)
They help removing :
• Fine lines
• Irregular pigmentation
• Age spots
Side Effects : Mild irritation and sun sensitivity.
Beta hydroxy acids(salicylic acid)
• Remove dead skin cells and improve texture.
• Helps with removing acne.

10. Hydroquinone
• Used in lightening dark spots and age spots
• Hence are also called bleaching or lightening agents.
Kojic acid
• It is derived from a fungus and slows the production of
melanin(brown pigment).
• Works similarly to hydroquinone.
Retinol
• Helps improve skin texture and tone
• Removes fine lines and wrinkles
• It is also one of the best anti ageing mineral.

11. L-Ascorbic acid
It is one of the forms of vitamin-c . With age and sun
exposure collagen synthesis in skin decreases leading to
wrinkles. It is the only antioxidant proven to stimulate
collagen synthesis minimizing lines, scars and wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is often touted for its ability to “reverse”
or stop ageing . It is found naturally in young skin and gets
destroyed by age. Products with hyaluronic acid are most
often used for wrinkle treatment.
Copper Peptide
Copper peptides promote the synthesis of hyaluronic acid.
Studies also show that copper dependent enzymes benefit
natural tissue building processes.

12. Side effects
 Indiscriminate use of skin creams may
cause some serious problems like -:
• Skin harshening and drying
• Roughness
• Skin cancer
• Fairness creams which contain mercury
may also cause poisoning.
