ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to
my teacher ‘NIDHI PANDIT MAM’ who gave me this
opportunity to do this wonderful project of chemistry
Investigatory project , which also helped me in doing a
lot of research and I came to know about so many new
things.
I am really thankful to them.
Secondly I would also like to thank my parents and
friends who helped me a lot in finishing this project
within the time limit.
I am making this project not only for marks but to also
increase my knowledge .
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HELPED ME

VANISHING CREAM
INTRODUCTION
The first cream to go mainstream was Cold Cream. The oil based
makeup remover did a great job of cleaning the skin, but left behind a
greasy sheen. In 1897, the first vanishing cream was advertised
(though it went by the name Snow). In 1904, Pond’s created a
Vanishing Cream as a kind of companion to its popular cold cream.
Women loved that the cream quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving
nothing but a slight pearlescent glow behind.As commercial makeup
became more popular in the 1920s, vanishing cream became the go-to
base for makeup. Face powders of the time couldn’t adhere to dry
skin, so people applied vanishing cream, then powder to act as a kind
of foundation. The powder stuck to the cream perfectly and left a dry,
non-oily finish.To separate it from it’s cold cream cousin, advertisers
loved to talk about vanishing cream’s dry finish. The cream absorbs
quickly and “vanishes” into the skin, hence the name.
Sometimes the name was taken a little too literally.

In Popeye and Tom and Jerry cartoons, you see vanishing cream used
to astonishing effect. Even though our modern formulation gives skin
a lot of benefits, we can’t promise our Vanishing Cream will help you
in any disappearing act!.From the 1900-1920s, Vanishing Cream and
Cold Cream were the most popular forms of skincare on the market.
After World War I, advances in manufacturing made creams easier to
produce and companies came out with more specialized products
with added skincare benefits.
Also, advancements in face powder, liquid, and cream foundations,

left people with little need for vanishing cream as a primer. Vanishing
Cream started to look old fashioned and began to fall out of favor in
the 1930s.
Properties
1. High melting point

2. Pure whiteness
3. Very little odor and low iodine number
4. Rubbed easily on the skin
Formulation
 Steraic acid (55°C)

Protective
 High quality is used because to

provide an oil phase , which melts above body temperature
 Provide non-greasy film
 Produce very attractive appearance
 KOH or NaOH :- to neutralize free fatty acid.
 NaOH makes a harder cream than KOH

 Triethanolamine is also used instead which instead which makes
prepration easy & viable nature
 Borax is used to make white creams but product has tendency to gain
(small piece)
 Glycerin 10% of total
 Used to maintain consistency
 Enhance spreadings ability
 Preservation for microbial growth.

 Methyl parahydroxy benzoate (0.12%)
 Propyl parahydroxy benzoate (0.12%)
 Perfume:-
 Sandalwood, lavender oil, linalool, rose, geraniol etc…
Preparation
Stearic acid 20%

KOH 1%
NaOH 0.133%
Glycerin 5%
Methyl paraben 0.18%
Prapyl paraben 0.02%
Perfume Quantity sufficient to make it pleasing
Water Quantity sufficient to make 100%
Step 1. The oil soluble ingredients such as stearic acid, lanolin,

propylene glycol & propyl paraben are mixed and heated to 70 degree
Celsius in a suitable container generally borosilicate glass apparatus is
used in when making on lab scale. For large-scale production Stainless
steel containers are used. This makes the oily phase of vanishing
cream.
Step 2. The water soluble ingredients such as triethanol amine, methyl
paraben and water are mixed and heated to 70 degree Celsius
simultaneously in another suitable container. This makes the aqueous
phase of the vanishing cream.
Step 3. When both phases are at 70 degree Celsius, oily phase is

transferred to aqueous phase in small portions with continuous stirring in
manner that a homogenous emulsion is formed. Now, once the transfer
is complete it is allowed to come at room temperature all the while being
stirred.
Step 4. Perfume is added just before the finished product is transferred

to suitable container for the consumers.
Step 5. A suitable label is pasted on the finished product. As per drug

and cosmetic act the label should contain following information: -
Storage
 Store in well closed container at a temperature not exceeds 25°C

 Store in cool place
Evaluation
Brand consistency Skin Net Physical
