INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Body
cream is a soft substance or thick liquid used on the skin to protect it or
make it feel soft. Body creams are readily used to keep the skin soft and
useful (Oxford Advanced Dictionary; 5th edition). Hundreds of
thousands of types of body cream have been developed. Body creams come in form
of body emollient, moisturizing cream, antiseptic cream face cream etc.
An
emollient describes something that is softening or smoothing to the skin, or
describes anything that is put on sunburned skin for soothing. Example of an
emollient include Aloe Vera. Many ingredients have been used both in earlier
times and now in the production of body cream and those may include; animal
fat, olive oil, mineral oil, petroleum jelly, coconut oil, cardamom, honey,
wine, vitamins alpha and beta hydroxyl acids, minerals etc and these
ingredients have their respective functions in making the body soft, removing
fine lines, age spots, wrinkles, dead skin cells etc.
This
work will be focusing on coconut oil
as a cream ingredient. Coconut oil is an edible oil extract from the kernel or
meat of matured coconuts harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). It has served as the primary source of fat
in the diet of millions of people for generations. It has various applications
in food, medicine and industry. Coconut oil is very heat-stable, low in
rancidity, lasting up to two years owing to its high saturated fat content.
Researchers
of skin care products have discovered the secret that skin care products
contains coconut oil as part of its ingredient should be sought for especially
by those who have dry skin and really want to avoid premature aging (APCC,
2011). Apart from the ingredients,
fragrance have been added to these body creams to make them appealing to the
buyer.
Fragrance
is any substance either in oily, gaseous, or liquid form out on the skin in
order for one to smell nice (Oxford Advanced Leaner’s dictionary 5th
edition). Fragrances are added to a cream to improve the perfume quality of the
cream in order to make it appealing to the buyers.
Fragrances
added to creams can come in different forms like the rose fragrance, strawberry
fragrance, apple fragrance, banana fragrance, pineapple fragrance, vanilla
fragrance etc. In this work, vanilla will be used as the fragrance for the
cream.
Vanilla
is a substance obtained from the beans of a tropical vanilla plant, used to give
flavor to sweet foods or other manufactured products, like ice cream, body
cream, juice, custards etc. (Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary 5th
edition). Vanilla is the only fruit-bearing member of the orchid family which
have its origin from central Mexico.
Vanilla
beans are grown in several distinct regions of the world. They produce vanilla
beans with unique regional characteristics and attributes, each particularly suited
for different use.
Vanilla
essential oil has a lovely earthy-sweet scent that brings comfort and a sense
of fulfillment. It is used in aromatherapy and in the perfume industry (Sooper,
2009). The production of body cream involves the process of making cream either
for personal use or in large quantities for commercial purposes. For this
production to be effective, the producer must take extreme care in order to
make sure that the right steps or procedures are properly and carefully adhered
to, the ingredients and fragrance added in the right quantity and proportion in
order to achieve the desired result.
