INTRODUCTION

Modern formulation of cold creamCold cream now replaces the olive oil with mineral oil or other oils, which are slower to spoil, as well as alcohol, glycerin, and lanolin. Beginning in the 1970s, jojoba oil became a common ingredient, used as a substitute of "spermaceti" (a lipid) which is obtained from whales. Another common ingredient in modern cold cream is borax, which is also responsible for the whiteness of cold cream. Widely sold brands of cold cream in the United States include Pond's and Noxzema.Over the centuries, new uses have been found for the product: "As a toilet requisite cold cream is used for softening and cooling the skin after sunburn, as a cleansing cream, to relieve harshness of the skin, etc."Cold cream is an emulsion of water and certain fats, usually including beeswax and various scent agents, designed to smooth skin and remove makeup. The emulsion is of a "water in oil" type unlike the "oil in water" type emulsion of vanishing cream, so-called because they seem to disappear when applied on skin. The name, cold cream, derives from the cooling feeling that the cream leaves on the skin. Variations of the product have been used for nearly two-thousand years.HistoryThe invention of cold cream is credited to Galen, a physician in second century Greece.

POND’S COLD CREAM

Page 10: cold cream comparative analysis

Manufacturer - Unilever (In US) Invented By - Mr. Theron T. PondInvented In - 1846

HISTORY-

Pond's Cream is a brand of beauty and health care products that is produced by the Ponds Institute which is owned by the multinational company Unilever .

Pond's Cream was invented in the United States as a medicine by scientist Theron T. Pond (1800–1852) in 1846. Mr. Pond extracted a healing tea from witch hazel, with which he discovered he could heal small cuts and other ailments. The product was named "Golden Treasure", after Theron died, it would be known as "Pond's Extract"

In 1846, the "T.T. Pond Company" was formed, with Pond and other business people as investors. Theron Pond's health was failing, however, so he sold his portion of the company soon after, and he died in 1852.

The company then moved to Connecticut and later to New York City.

In 1886, Pond's began to advertise nationally. They would, however, advertise under the name of Pond's Healing until 1910.

By the twentieth century, the company's main strategy was geared towards selling cosmetics products, and so the "Pond's Vanishing Cream" and the "Pond's Cold Cream" were created, marking the entrance of Pond's products into the facial care industry. Today Ponds is sold around the world. Its strengths are in Spain, India, Japan and Thailand.

Manufacturer - Emami LTD (India) Company Owner - Mr. R. S. Agarwal and Mr. R. S. GoenkaEstablished In - 1974Main Products - Boroplus cosmetics, naturally fair cosmetics, gold cosmetics

Himani fast relief, Fair & Handsome cream.

History:-The inception of Emami Group took place way back in mid-seventies when two childhood friends, Mr. R. S. Agarwal and Mr. R. S. Goenka left their high profile jobs with the Birla Group to set up Kemco Chemicals, an Ayurvedic medicine and cosmetic manufacturing unit in Kolkata in 1974. It was an extremely bold step in the early seventies when the Indian FMCG market was still dominated by multinationals. Several such companies headquartered in Kolkata were considering shifting out of West Bengal due to labor unrest and political problems. But against all odds with a vision of combining the age old wisdom of Ayurveda with modern manufacturing techniques for creating winning brands the company was started with a meager amount of Rs. 20, 000.

Within three decades, the company has grown into a huge Rs. 1000 crore Emami Ltd under the flagship company of the Rs.3000 crore Emami Group. Today, Emami Limited is led by Mr. R S Agarwal and Mr. R S Goenka with the help of the second generation Promoter Directors from the two families. Qualified and dedicated set of professionals run the day to day operations of the company. Recently a new corporate office “Emami Tower” has been added to the history of the company which houses Emami Limited as well as all the other Group companies in Kolkata.

NIVEA COLD CREAM

Manufacturer - Beiersdorf (Germany)

Founder Of Company - Mr. Paul C. Beiersdorf

Established In - 1882, Relaunch In 2011

History

The company has been founded in 1882 by pharmacist Paul Carl Beiersdorf in Hamburg and sold to Oscar Troplowitz in 1890. The patent of 28th of march 1882 for Paul C. Beiersdorf is regarded as foundation date of the company. He received the patent for his development of a new manufacturing process of medical plasters.

The Beginnings

Right from its beginnings in 1911, the NIVEA brand was fueled by a positive mixture of research, creativity, and business know-how. In 1890, Dr. Oscar Troplowitz had purchased Hamburg-based company Beiersdorf from its founder, Paul C. Beiersdorf. Troplowitz’s scientific adviser, Prof. Paul Gerson Unna, who would go on to become one of the most prominent dermatologists in Germany, had an eye for innovations. He brought Troplowitz’s attention to a completely new kind of emulsifying agent called Eucerit (lit. “beautiful wax”). Using this, it was possible to develop the world’s first stable – and therefore industrially producible – oil-and-water-based cream: NIVEA.The name NIVEA alluded to the creme’s pure white appearance, derived from the Latin word “nix, nivis” meaning snow. Apart from Eucerit to bind the oils with water, it also contained glycerin, a little citric acid and, to lend it a delicate scent, oil of rose and lily of the valley. Even though NIVEA Creme has been continually updated in line with the latest scientific developments, the essence of the recipe has changed little in almost 100 years.

Page 23: cold cream comparative analysis

Testing Policies

All Garnier products are the result of rigorous research and development and benefit from the expertise of 3,000 multi-disciplinary scientists & research staff. Their discoveries are frequently published in leading scientific journals and have resulted in some 529 patents in 2005.

Garnier uses methodologies recognised by the international scientific community as part of its products development process which assess their safety and effectiveness

Stages of research, development and evaluation at Garnier:

The Garnier products benefit from scientific and customer research gathered at 13 research centres and 13 evaluation centres around the world.

We also conduct independent clinical studies to assess the effectiveness and safety of our products. They can be done whether under dermatological or ophtalmological control.

Consumer studies verify product effectiveness and consumer satisfaction rates before the product is launched.

Once products are launched, customer satisfaction surveys are also carried out. These involve interviewing a selection of people who have bought and used the products for several weeks. This information helps us to monitor levels of satisfaction and we use this type of customer feedback to evaluate and improve our products on an ongoing basis.

Direct from the labs:Garnier’S Bioscreening Process

Everyday, we discover more and more ingredients from natural origin.To select the best from nature and identify its activity on the skin, Garnier has adopted Bioscreening, a molecule screening method used in the pharmaceutical industry.

The Bioscreening used by Garnier comprises cell-culture facilities that operate a highly cutting-edge robot. The cell cultures placed in micro-well plates are inserted in a fully automatic incubator, and then retrieved by the robotic arm.

Page 24: cold cream comparative analysis

The robot allocates the products to be tested, moves the plates, dilutes the tested actives ingredients, freezes the solutions in order to remove dissolved gases, adds actives to cell cultures and manages the different protocol procedures before performing measurements.

In a single test process, 384 active ingredients can be tested. Data is then sent to molecular-modeling laboratories to obtain the ingredients properties and chemical characteristics. The Bioscreening tests have considerably increased Garnier's nature exploration capacities in skin care.

Each selected natural ingredient included in Garnier skin care products has also proven its activity through in vitro tests. Each natural ingredient selected by Bioscreening is tested once again in vitro and its effects on skin-models are checked before being used in a Garnier skincare product
