contents <p><span>Cold cream has been one of the oldest known semisolid emulsions for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. Traditionally, it is recognized as a cleansing and moisturizing formulation intended to calm and protect the skin from dryness and environmental factors. Cold cream is primarily a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion, composed of natural or synthetic oils, waxes, and water with emulsifiers like borax. The term “cold” refers to the perceived cooling experience upon application due to evaporating water. Cold cream formulations have adapted from simple Galenic preparations to modern multifunctional formulations with humectants, herbal extracts, and bioactive components. This review will describe the history, formulation design, mechanism, evaluation parameters, and recent developments with cold cream technologies. In addition, the relevance of cold cream in the skin and cosmetic industries will be discussed with emphasis on its thriving economy used in both skincare and as a base for pharmaceuticals.<span>  </span></span></p>
