Cream consistency

Elidel cream consists of pimecrolimus, which is a calcineurin inhibitor that is used for eczema or psoriasis. Patients should be advised to avoid alcoholic drink during the treatment period as consumption of alcohol may lead to facial flushing and skin irritation. Side-effects associated with the topical administration of pimecrolimus include a burning sensation, pruritus, erythema and skin infections, including folliculitis and, less commonly, impetigo. 

Ice cream consists of ca. 40% air-frozen foam. The continuous phase in foam consists of sugars, proteins, and emulsifiers. A typical ice cream contains... 

Organoleptic evaluation and product stability are usually assessed by a small expert panel trained to evaluate product appearance and ice cream consistency including smoothness, firmness, creaminess, sandiness, body, icy texture, and other properties. 

A foam in which the liquid consists of two phases in the form of an emulsion. Also termed foam emulsion . Example whipped cream consists of air bubbles dispersed in cream, which is an emulsion. See also Foam. See Foaming Agent. 

As with solid-gas systems, food analysis is one of the widest fields of application of US-based detection since typical foods such as ice cream or whipped cream consist of air bubbles distributed in a visco-elastic liquid [137]. 

Desoximetasone emollient cream 0.25%, desoximetasone gel 0.05%, desoximetasone ointment 0.25%, and desoximetasone emollient cream 0.05% contain the active synthetic corticosteroid desoximetasone. The topical corticosteroids constitute a class of primarily synthetic steroids used as anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agents. Each gram of emollient cream 0.25% contains 2.5 mg desoximetasone in an emollient cream consisting of white petrolatum USP, purified water USP, isopropyl myristate NF, lanolin alcohols NF, mineral oil USP, cetostearyl alcohol NF, aluminum stearate, and magnesium stearate. Each gram of gel 0.05% contains 0.5 mg desoximetasone in a gel consisting of purified water USP, SD alcohol 40 (20%... 

The topical cream contains metronidazole USP at a concentration of 7.5 mg per gram (0.75%) in an emollient cream consisting of emulsifying wax, sorbitol solution, glycerin, isopropyl palmitate, benzyl alcohol, lactic acid or sodium hydroxide to adjust pH, and purified water. Metronidazole is a member of the imidazole class of antibacterial agents and is classified therapeutically as an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent. Chemically, metronidazole... 

The aqueous dispersion containing gum olibanum powder is added to the molten emulsifying ointment, and the mixture is stirred continuously at 10,000 rpm for 1 hour using a homogenizer to obtain cream consistency. 

Milk.—The secretion of the mammary gland is water holding in solution casein, albumin, lactose, and salts and fat and casein in suspension. Cream consists of the greater part of the fat, with a small proportion of the other constituents of the milk. Skim-milk is milk from which the cream has been removed. Butter- milk is cream from which the greater part of the fat has been removed, and consequently is of about the same composition as skim-milk. 

A typical ice cream consists of about 30% ice, 50% air, 5% fat and 15% matrix (sugar solution) by volume. It therefore contains all three states of matter solid ice and fat, liquid sugar solution and gas. The solid and gas are small particles - ice crystals, fat droplets and air bubbles -in a continuous phase, the matrix. To understand the creation of the microstructure during the manufacturing process we must first introduce some concepts from the physical chemistry of colloids, freezing and rheology (the study of the deformation and flow of materials). 

A white upper layer or rubber cream consisting of rubber particles amounting to 25 to 45% of latex volume. The particles are strongly protected in suspension by a film of adsorbed proteins and phospholipids. This protein and phospholipid layer imparts a net negative charge to the rubber particle, contributing to colloidal stability. ... 

The outer phase of hydrophilic creams consist of water, dissolved active substances, preservatives and humectants see Sect. 12.5.3. 

As discussed before (2), multiple emulsions (w/o/w or o/w/o) are ideal systems for application in personal care products for the following reasons. First, one can dissolve ingredients in three different compartments. For example with w/o/w multiple emulsions, one can incorporate two different water-soluble additives (proteins, enzymes, and vitamins) and an insoluble ingredient (e.g., perfume). Second, they can be applied for sustained release by control of the breakdown process that occurs on application. Third, they allow one to produce the same cream consistency required for many cosmetics, e.g., by incorporation of a thickener or gelling agent in the outer continuous phase.
