Cold cream is an emulsion of water and certain fats, usually including beeswax and various scent agents, designed to smooth skin and remove makeup. The name derives from the cooling feeling that the cream leaves on the skin.
The invention of cold cream is credited to a physician in Second century Greece, Galen:
In France, this substance is still known as cérat de Galien (cream of Galen). An 1814 poem credited to “Dr. Russell” gives the following account of the benefits attributed to cold cream in that day:
Galen’s cold cream was based on beeswax and water, also containing olive oil and rose petals for softness and scent, respectively. Modern cold cream has significant differences in formula, which were established centuries ago:
Cold cream now replaces the olive oil with mineral oil or other oils, which is slower to spoil. Another common ingredient in modern cold cream is borax, which is also responsible for the whiteness of cold cream. The most widely sold brand of cold cream in the United States is Pond’s.
