Preparation and Evaluation of Cold Cream: Experiment Findings.pdf

Cold cream is a classic water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion known for its soothing and moisturizing properties. Here’s a brief overview of its preparation and evaluation: Preparation of Cold Cream Ingredients: Oil Phase: Beeswax, mineral oil, almond oil Aqueous Phase: Borax, rose water Procedure: Melt the Oil Phase: Heat the beeswax and almond oil together at 75-80°C until fully melted. Prepare the Aqueous Phase: Dissolve borax in rose water and heat to the same temperature (75-80°C). Combine Phases: Slowly add the aqueous phase to the oil phase with constant stirring until a uniform mixture is obtained. Cool Down: Continue stirring the mixture while it cools to room temperature to ensure proper emulsification.

2. ▪Cold cream is an emulsion of water in oil (W/O), traditionally used for
moisturizing and cleansing the skin.
▪It is applied on the dorsal portion of the skin.
▪The name indicates that it is it used in the cold i.e. winter season.
▪It typically contains a combination of oils (such as mineral oil), water,
emulsifiers, and a thickening agent like beeswax or cetyl alcohol.
▪Cold creams have been used for centuries, with their roots tracing back to
ancient Greece, where the first versions were formulated by Galen.
▪Today's cold creams often include additional ingredients such as essential oils,
herbal extracts, and vitamins to enhance their soothing and rejuvenating
properties.
INTRODUCTION

3. ▪In this type of emulsion i.e. water/oil
phase.
▪Here, we used Borax and Distilled
Water as Water Phase.
▪Where we used Liq. Paraffin and Bees
Wax as Oil Phase.
▪For inhibition of bacterial growth we
used Methyl Paraben as preservative
▪For fragrance we adds perfume.

5. PROCEDURE
▪At first, take the White Bees wax of weight 3.2g into China Dish.
▪Then add liquid Paraffin/Mineral oil of 10ml weight into the same China
Dish.
▪Put the China Dish into water bath and heat upto 70°C until it melt.
▪On the other side, take the Borax 6gm added into distilled water filled in
beaker and solve properly.
▪Now, generally add the Borax+ Distilled water mixture into the Bees wax
and Mineral oil solution with drop by drops. Then, add the Methyl Paraben
into it.
▪The continues stirring of both solution and after 15-20 minutes final
homogenous semi-solid dosage form prepared, called cold cream. Packed it
into the suitable container and evaluated.

9. ▪ Spreadability
▪Take 2 glass slides with same length,
then mark the scale with marker in
one slide. Put one drop of emulsion
on the one glass slide. Then put the
other slide on the another. Gently,
slide the another. Note the spreading
of emulsion.
▪pH
▪Take the container in which emulsion
is present. Dip the pH paper into the
emulsion. Check the colour changes
and note it.
▪Irritation Test
▪Put the small amount of emulsion on
the dorsal portion of skin, then spread
it by fingers. Now, observe if any
irritation is found.
▪Washablity Test
▪Put the small amount of emulsion on
the dorsal portion of skin, then spread
it by fingers. Now rinse it with water.

10. pH 6.8 (Green colour)
Viscosity 5625.878 Pa
Consistency Smooth
Spreadability 3.5 cm
