A lotion is a low- to medium-Viscosity, topical preparation intended for consumption to unbroken Skin Cream and Gels. Most lotions are oil-in-water Emulsion using a substance such as Cetearyl to keep the emulsion together, but water-in-oil lotions are also formulated. Lotions are usually applied to external skin with bare hands, a clean cloth, cotton wool or Gauze; creams and gels usually only with one's fingers or palms. Many lotions, especially hand creams and face creamare formulated not as a Medicinedelivery system, but simply to smooth and soften the skin-these are particularly popular with the aging and aged demographic groups, and in the case of face usage, can also be classified as a cosmetic in many cases, and frequently contains fragrances.
