Creams

 

— one of the most famous and widespread forms of cosmetics production. The cream has the consistency of an ointment, which makes it easy to apply it to the skin with "bare hands", without the use of tampons, cotton pads and other similar devices. In this case, the size of the application area and the amount of cream can be chosen at your discretion.

The purpose of such funds can be very diverse: softening, moisturizing, nourishing, rejuvenating, matting, etc. The same applies to areas of the body for which this or that remedy is designed (see "Application"). Most creams are applied on the basis of absorption into the skin, such products do not need to be washed off; however, there may be exceptions.

Note that creams can be made on a fatty or water-fat (emulsion) basis. The second variety can be attributed to emulsions, for more details on them, see the relevant paragraph.
