This article briefly outlines the definition of cream-based cosmetic products and their packaging solutions. We will provide a summary analysis of product classification, packaging types, design logic, key procurement points, and the underlying reasons. Packaging Application Solutions for Cream-Based Cosmetics 1 1. Definition of Cream-Based Cosmetics Creams are high-viscosity, semi-solid emulsified systems with a significantly higher oil phase ratio than lotions (typically >30%). Their characteristics include:  ★Physical State: Non-flowable at room temperature (viscosity > 100,000 mPa·s), requiring tools for application. ★ Structure Types: O/W (lightweight gel creams), W/O (cold creams), silicone-based (matte finish). ★ Failure Risks: Oil separation at high temperatures, water-oil separation at low temperatures, active ingredient degradation (due to oxygen permeation).
