külmkreemina

Külmkreemina, also known as cold cream, is a cosmetic emulsion traditionally made from a mixture of water, oil, and waxes, such as beeswax. Its name derives from the cooling sensation it produces on the skin when the water content evaporates. Historically, cold cream was primarily composed of rosewater and oil, with the addition of beeswax for stability and texture.

The primary function of külmkreemina is to moisturize and cleanse the skin. Its oil-based formulation helps to dissolve makeup, dirt, and other impurities, while the emollient properties of the waxes and oils leave the skin feeling soft and hydrated. It acts as a barrier, preventing moisture loss from the skin, making it particularly useful for dry or dehydrated skin types.

Over time, the formulation of cold cream has evolved, with many modern versions incorporating a wider range of ingredients to enhance their efficacy and sensory properties. These can include various emollients, humectants, emulsifiers, and preservatives. While the classic composition remains relevant, contemporary cold creams may also feature active ingredients designed to address specific skin concerns. Külmkreemina is typically applied to the face and neck and can be used as a cleanser, moisturizer, or even a makeup remover. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin, although individual reactions can vary.
