Cold cream question

[Cashie]

Mineral oil is the main ingredient in the recipe but I was wondering if there is a better facial type oil to use. I would like it to rinse off easily. What is your experience?

What type of skin do you have? If it's oily, I would try FCO or jojoba. If it's dry, try almond or apricot kernel. For very dry skin olive oil would work.

You're welcome. FCO is fractionated coconut oil. It's a nice lightweight oil.

Technically a cold cream is meant to be a very thick water-in-oil emulsion that is rubbed over skin and wiped off. It is heavy on the oil because it is the oil that removes the make-up. That's the purpose of a cold cream. A cleansing lotion can be made to rinse off easily. Swift has had a few cleansing lotions on her blog lately, www.swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.com. HTH!
