PREPARATION OF VANISHING CREAM

Aim:  To prepare and submit 25gm of vanishing cream.

Chemical requirements :  Stearic acid, Potassium carbonate, borax, carbitol, Perfume and water.

Apparatus:  water bath, beaker,china dish etc.

Principle              : 

                                Vanishing cream is a particlar type of skin cream used during the day time, either alone in which it is expected to immiscible or vanish on application, or in conjunction with powder when it must serve as a foundation for the makeup providing suitable adherent base for the powder.

                                These creams are water continuous cream with low or medium oil content. Most of the formulations contain high quantity of stearic acid as the oil phase. This provides an oil phase which melts above body temperature and crystallizes in a suitable form, so as to be immiscible and gives nongreasy film, and moreover can confirm a very attractive appearance to the product.

                                These creams can be defined as stearic acid in a gel of stearate soap.

Procedure           :  

1.       Stearic acid is melted in waterbath at 70⁰C.

2.       Potassium carbonate dissolved in water and borax is added to it then mix it thoroughly. This solution is heated to 70⁰C.

3.       Then the solution is poured into melted stearic acid with stirring at same temperature for 10 mins until the saponification is completed.

4.       China dish is removed from the flame and stirred until it is cold.

5.       Perfume is dissolved in carbitol which is added to the cream and mixed thoroughly
