Skin care products are items of daily use. These funds are used mainly in the form of creams. There are creams free from fats and containing fats. Creams containing fats are emulsions or ointment-like substances. In the first case, they contain water along with fat. Fat-free creams are composed of a water-binding substance (gelatin, starch, vegetable slime, tragacanth, etc.), water and glycerin. To give stability to fat-free creams, it is recommended to add 1-4 g of formalin per 5 kg of cream. For the same purpose, benzoic or salicylic acid is also added.

Fat-free creams can be mixed with oils and solid fats in a melted state. If necessary, the consistency of fat-free creams is increased by increasing the amount of binder.

For normal skin, fat-free creams are used, since they form a kind of thin dressing that protects the skin from all atmospheric influences, and besides, such creams have a beneficial effect on the skin due to the presence of glycerin.

For hand skin care, especially with frequent contact with water, soda or soap solutions, it is rational to use fatty creams, especially those containing lanolin.

Fat-free creams also include soap creams, which in most cases have as a base a stearic-potassium soap made from stearin (stearic acid) and potash. Soap creams in winter are not suitable for the care of sensitive skin, since the soap that serves as a base in them makes the skin brittle in most cases and contributes to the formation of barely noticeable cracks, which naturally react to cold even more than smooth skin.

In the manufacture of soap creams, you need to test whether the substances that make up these creams are compatible with soap. With fat-containing creams, powdered substances, such as zinc oxide, sulfur, etc., as well as alcohol solutions, tinctures, etc., can also be ground.

Saponified creams consist of potassium stearate (potassium stearic soap) dissolved in a glycerin-water mixture. The best preparations are obtained by using pure stearin (stearic acid), uncontaminated by liquid fatty acids.

In the manufacture of such a cream, the mass, due to the release of carbon dioxide, rises strongly and foams, as a result of which voluminous dishes should be used in such cases.

Here are some recipes for saponified creams.

Light cream

9 g of potash are dissolved in a mixture of 700 g of water and 300 g of glycerin, heated to a boil and 90% of molten stearin is added slowly in a thin stream with constant stirring. As soon as the formation of carbon dioxide stops, the heating is stopped and another 30 g of pure alcohol are added with stirring.

It turns out a snow-white cream, easily impregnating the skin. If solid substances (zinc oxide, sulfur, etc.) are added to the cooled cream while stirring, then it first becomes soft, and after 24 hours it hardens again. Acid-reacting substances should not be added to this cream.

Invisible cold cream

Stearic acid 900 g;
Paraffin 225 g;
Ammonia 1,6 kg;
Glycerin purified 3 l;
Borax 7 g;
Distilled water 2 l.

Melt the paraffin with a small amount of water in a water bath. Slowly add ammonia diluted with hot water. Beat well, while the mixture gives a lot of foam. Then add glycerin, borax and the rest of the water.

Keep at moderate temperature. Mix well and beat.

Walnut cream

In the above recipe, water is replaced with nut extract, or even better, a mixture of equal parts of water and extract. Perfumes for this cream should not be consumed at all. The nut extract should be added at the very end, as heating the nut extract with paraffin and stearic acid will cause a large loss of extract.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

E-paper with optimal color reproduction 17.07.2021

In order for reflective screens to compete with energy-intensive backlit screens, they must reproduce images and colors with the same high quality. Thanks to research from the Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), this breakthrough may soon become a reality.

"Our study shows how this technology can be optimized to make it commercially viable," says Marika Gugole of the Chalmers Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

Based on a previously studied porous and nanostructured material containing tungsten trioxide, as well as gold and platinum, they tested a new, inverted tactic. The component that makes the material electrically conductive was placed under the pixel nanostructure that reproduces colors, and not above it, as before. This new design means you're looking directly at the pixelated surface, so colors are perceived much more clearly.

"Our main goal in developing these reflective screens, or 'electronic paper' as they are sometimes called, was to find green, energy-saving solutions. And in this case, the energy consumption is almost zero, because we simply use ambient light," explains the study leader, Professor Andreas Dahlin.

In his view, a major industrial player with the necessary technical expertise can start developing products based on this new technology within a few months. In addition to smartphones and tablets, it can also be useful for outdoor advertising, being a more cost-effective option compared to both printed posters and digital screens.
