Creaming prevention

Cosmetics that are intended to treat or prevent disease or alter a body function are considered drug products. Examples include toothpastes with fluoride (prevent cavities), srmtanning lotions/creams (prevent exposme to UV light), antiperspirants that are also deodorants (prevent perspiration), and antidandruff shampoos (prevent or treat dandruff). The key in determining whether a product is a cosmetic or a drug-cosmetic product is the product s claim Does the label claim that the product will treat or prevent disease ... 

Although it is hard to draw a sharp distinction, emulsions and foams are somewhat different from systems normally referred to as colloidal. Thus, whereas ordinary cream is an oil-in-water emulsion, the very fine aqueous suspension of oil droplets that results from the condensation of oily steam is essentially colloidal and is called an oil hydrosol. In this case the oil occupies only a small fraction of the volume of the system, and the particles of oil are small enough that their natural sedimentation rate is so slow that even small thermal convection currents suffice to keep them suspended for a cream, on the other hand, as also is the case for foams, the inner phase constitutes a sizable fraction of the total volume, and the system consists of a network of interfaces that are prevented from collapsing or coalescing by virtue of adsorbed films or electrical repulsions. 

Specially designed impervious suits, eg. Level A suits, are utili2ed by workers handling some rocket fuels and other highly ha2ardous compounds (see Explosives and propellants). Barrier creams are much less effective than gloves for preventing skin contact. 

Sucrose is often used as a decorative agent to impart a pleasing appearance to baked goods and confections (36). In jams and jeUies, sugar raises osmotic pressure and lowers water activity to prevent spoilage (18). Sucrose is a fermentation substrate for lactic acid in cultured buttermilk (40) and lowers the freezing point of ice cream and other frozen desserts to improve product mouthfeel and texture. 

Skin Irritation. Fine broken filaments often irritate the skin, occasionally causing transient itching and rashes. The back of hands and wrists and neck areas tend to be most sensitive. Protective clothing and barrier skin creams help prevent the fiber from reaching the skin and causing discomfort. 

Machine operators working with emulsions can become susceptible to skin infections because of the combination of the de-fatting effect of soluble-oil emulsifiers and the abrasive action of metallic scarf, but bacteria in cutting fluids are seldom the source of such infections. High standards of personal hygiene and the use of barrier creams should prevent such problems. A more difficult situation arises when a soluble-oil emulsion becomes infected with bacteria capable of utilizing the emulsifier and mineral-oil components in the system. Even in clean conditions, untreated soluble-oil emulsions and solutions cannot remain completely sterile for any length of time.

Any material used for packaging natural cheeses must prevent moisture loss, maintain good product appearance, protect against microorganisms, and act as an oxygen barrier. Aluminum foil laminates provide this type of protection for cheese. Cream cheese is packed in lami-... 

In more recent times it is used as a thickener in salad dressings, cosmetics, and sauces as an agent in ice cream that prevents ice crystals from forming and as a fat substitute. In pastry fillings, it prevents syneresis (weeping of the water in the filling), keeping the pastry crust crisp. 

Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifying agent that is often used in ice cream to prevent milk proteins from completely coating the fat droplets. This allows them to join together in chains and nets, to hold air in the mixture, and to provide a firmer texture that holds its shape as the ice cream melts. 

Methylcellulose is used as a thickener in sauces and salad dressings, and as a thickener and stabilizer in ice cream, where it helps prevent ice crystals from forming during freezing or during refreezing after a thaw. 

Since we want the texture of products like shaving cream to stay stable, and since shampoo advertisers like to pretend that unnecessary extra lather is an important selling point, foam stabilizers are helpful in preventing foams from breaking down. 

Sodium carboxymethylcellulose is acceptable for use in food, and is employed in a variety of foodstuffs. It is used to prevent formation of ice crystals in ice creams to control the consistency of cheese spreads to stabilise the emulsions needed in salad creams and to thicken toothpaste. 

After the procedure, the patient is advised to use water-based lotion creams and potent sunscreens. The erythema gradually resolves over about a 2-month period. During this time, makeup foundation is encouraged. In patients with dark skin (Fitzpatrick skin type 3 or 4), the application of Kligman preparation is recommended to prevent reactive hyperpigmentation. Systemic Isotretinoin is required in some patients and can be prescribed as soon as 2-3 weeks after the procedure, if no other surgical intervention is planned in the near future. 

Properties such as body, texture, smoothness, and chewiness in foods are related to the control of crystal structure. The most common and the most important crystalline materials encountered in foods are sugar and ice. It is necessary to control growth, or increase the size of these crystals, as in ice cream and to prevent their disappearance or solution in the solvent, which is usually water, as in icings. In most instances, characteristic crystalline structure is controlled by formulation, type and ratio of ingredients, manufacturing techniques, and proper use of equipment. 

Sodium alginate (algin) is one of the most widely used hydrocolloids for ice cream. It is supplied in several viscosity types. The lower viscosity material is recommended in order to prevent thick mixes. It is used at a level of 0.15 to 0.25%. It is added to mix at higher temperatures in order to minimize precipitation by calcium salts present in milk products. Sodium alginate is sensitive to high acidities often developed in some mixes and causes thickening. 

Irish moss extract, or carrageenin, is a negatively charged polymer which reacts with positively charged protein molecules, imparting rapid increase in mix viscosity. There are many types used for ice cream, depending on the final use. It is generally used in conjunction with CMC or locust bean to prevent mix separation. Levels between 0.02 and 0.10% are recommended.
