Gly Solid is a cold cream, an emulsion of water and certain fats, usually including beeswax and various scent agents, designed to smooth skin and remove makeup.
Cold cream is an emulsion of water in a larger amount of oil,
unlike the oil in water emulsion of vanishing cream, so-called because it seems to disappear when applied on the 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 2000 years.
Cold cream is mainly used for skin treatment (such as a facial mask or lip balm), due to its moisturizing properties.
It can also be used to remove makeup and as shaving cream.
