Comments on the article

Creams are made from substances that are easily absorbed by the skin. First of all, beeswax, lanolin, spermaceti, almond oil are used for this purpose, and secondly, mineral oils such as ceresin, paraffin and petroleum jelly, which, however, serve more for the external protection of the skin. Then the components of the creams are borax, glycerin and boric acid, which have the most beneficial effect on the skin, renewing and preserving it.

All face and hand creams are prepared by melting and mixing individual fat components, followed by adding medicines to the still warm mass and stirring the mass for a long time until it completely hardens.

Here are some tried and tested recipes for good creams:

Cream "Perhydrol"

300 parts of anhydrous lanolin, 106 parts of almond oil, 22 parts of white wax are melted, stirred and gradually added 30 parts of borax, 104 parts of rose water, then add 30 parts of perhydrol, 1 part of ionone (100%), 3 parts of floral perfume.

Cream "Renaissance"

Melt 85 parts cocoa butter, 1400 parts almond oil, 230 parts spermaceti, 335 parts white wax, add in small portions, with constant stirring, a solution of 35 parts borax, 530 parts rose water, 1 part carbonic salt and then add 500 parts hydrogen peroxide. (3%), 25 parts essential oils and perfumes.

Cream "Metamorphosis" (against freckles)

30 parts of benzoic acid;
100 parts of basic nitrogen-bismuth salt;
40 parts of zinc peroxide;
60 parts of white wax;
40 parts of spermaceti;
300 parts of white American Vaseline;
400 parts of anhydrous lanolin;
2 parts rose oil;
1 part orange blossom oil;
100 parts of hydrogen peroxide (3%).

Wax, petroleum jelly, spermaceti and lanolin are melted, stirred, bismuth, zinc and benzoic acid are added to the half-cooled ointment, thoroughly ground and essential oils and hydrogen peroxide are added to the cooled mass.

Cold cream:

25 parts of paraffin;
26 parts of white wax;
99 parts vaseline oil;
1 part sodium perborate;
1 part rose oil.

Sodium perborate (perborax) is dissolved in water and paraffin and wax are added to the melted mixture. Perborax differs from other perborate salts, such as magnesium, zinc and calcium, in that it does not need to be treated with acids to decompose, since its simple contact with moisture quickly releases oxygen atoms. The use of Perborax in cosmetics is increasing every year, since it does not irritate the skin and does not spoil linen. It acts antiseptically first with its oxygen, and then with the remaining borax.

Cream "Snowflake"

Take 3 parts of agar-agar, 150 parts of distilled water, dissolve and filter. In another vessel, 15 parts of stearic acid, 10 parts of sodium carbonate salt, 100 parts of distilled water are heated in a water bath until all carbonic acid is removed; Towards the end of the reaction, add 15 parts of cocoa butter and the above-mentioned agar-agar solution. Then, having removed the mass from the water bath, beat it with a whisk into “snow” and, after complete cooling, add a solution of 5 parts menthol in 10 parts 90° alcohol.

Fat Free Creams

Fat-free face and hand creams are very popular. The basis of such creams is mostly stearin, which is converted into a soap mass with the help of potash and to which glycerin, spermaceti, zinc white, etc. are then added. After the stearin is saponified (and it rises high in the kettle) and the constituent parts are added to it, the cream is stirred until completely cooled and until a homogeneous smooth mass is formed. Then jars or tubes are filled with cream.

Fat-free casein creams have recently become fashionable abroad. Casein is precipitated by acids or acidic salts from skim (i.e. skim) milk and forms a soft, light mass (cottage cheese) when fresh, which is difficult to rub into the skin. Casein is soluble in solutions of ammonia, sodium phosphorus salt and borax. Therefore, when preparing casein cosmetics, you should not use alkalis. The physical properties of casein depend on the temperature at which the casein was precipitated, and then on how the casein was obtained - from concentrated or diluted solutions with water. Some commercial varieties have a grainy (granular) appearance and are therefore not suitable for creams.

The usual method for precipitating casein from skim milk is as follows: alum and acetic, hydrochloric or tartaric acid. It is best to consume centrifuged milk from dairy farms as there is absolutely no residual fat in it. If such milk is acidified with acetic acid, you will get good quality casein.

1st recipe:

Take 3 3/4 liters of skim milk 28 g of alum powder 5 g of boric acid 84 g of glycerin 1 g of almond-geranium oil 0,5 g of rose-geranium oil. Heat the milk to approximately 76 °C, dissolve the alum in 470 cm3 of hot water, add this solution, with constant stirring, to the milk, continue heating and stirring until the casein completely precipitates, allow the mixture to cool, drain the liquid from the sediment, add 4 liters to the latter water and grind the pulp as finely as possible. After standing for a long time, the casein precipitates again, the water is drained, the sediment is collected in a linen bag, squeezed out and dried without heating between passing paper. Then the casein is ground in a large porcelain mortar, adding a solution of boric acid in glycerin, until a soft, homogeneous paste is obtained. After standing for 6 hours, remove the released water, add oil and, if necessary, a little glycerin.

2st recipe:

Take

3 3/4 liters of skimmed milk;
140 g of tartaric acid;
14 g sodium benzoate;
28 g of zinc oxide;
56 g of glycerin.

Perfume is added as desired. Dissolve tartaric acid in 470 cm3 of water, add the solution to warm milk, strain off the precipitate, wash it, add a thoroughly ground mixture of zinc oxide with glycerin and, finally, benzoinonodium salt and perfume.

3st recipe:

Take

140 parts of casein;
560 parts of distilled water;
2 parts sodium carbonate;
80 parts of glycerin;
880 parts of white vaseline;
150 parts of white wax;
90 parts of spermaceti;
15 parts borax powder;
10 parts lysoform.

Perfume is added at will, melted and mixed.

Life on Mars 21.11.2001

Hungarian scientists believe that, having studied 60 photographs of the surface of Mars taken by the Global Surveyor spacecraft, they have found signs of the existence of life on the Red Planet. In photographs of the south polar region of Mars, they noticed groups of rounded dark spots against the background of ice fields. The diameter of the spots is from ten to several hundred meters.

Hungarian biologists suggest that organisms live under the surface of the ice, using the energy of the Sun and melting the ice during the Martian summer, which is why dark spots appear - oases of life.
