Creams are semi-solid emulsions
which contain mixtures of oil and water. Their consistency varies between
liquids and solids. Salve (medical ointment for soothing purpose) and unguent
(soothing products) preparations in earlier days led to the development of
cleansing and cold creams. With the help of additives such as emulsifying
