Cold cream is a powerful all-in-one skincare product that can be used to moisturize, treat acne, [deeply cleanse and remove makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calming-cleansing-balm). The product has been used by women for hundreds of years, with many consumers associating it with luxurious, vintage [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-2027-collection) glamour rituals. While cold creams of the past have been formulated with mineral oils and sulfates, a new wave of cold cream products are being introduced with [lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eternal-glow-cream) that won't clog the pores.

Kate Somerville's Cold Cream offers a new take on an old product, touting it as "not your grandmother's cold cream." The skincare product boasts a whipped formula that helps to remove everything from dirt and oil to mascara. Based on the results of an independent clinical study, Kate Somerville notes that "100% of women showed highly significant improvement in skin moisturization" after just one use of the Cold Cream.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Lightweight Cold Creams:** Developing lightweight formulas for cold creams can disrupt the traditional heavy, pore-clogging cold creams and cater to modern consumers' preferences.
- **Multipurpose Skincare Products:** Expanding the functionality of skincare products, like cold creams, to offer multiple benefits such as moisturizing, treating acne, and removing makeup can provide a disruptive innovation opportunity.
- **Reviving Vintage Skincare Rituals:** Bringing back and modernizing classic skincare rituals like using cold creams can tap into the nostalgia and appeal of vintage Hollywood glamour, attracting a new generation of consumers.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Skincare Industry:** The skincare industry can seize the opportunity to develop and market lightweight, multipurpose cold cream products to meet the evolving preferences of health-conscious consumers.
- **Beauty and Cosmetics Industry:** Beauty and cosmetics companies can explore the revival of vintage skincare rituals, like cold cream usage, as a unique selling point to differentiate their products and attract nostalgia-seeking consumers.
- **Research and Development (R&D):** Investing in research and development to create innovative formulas for lightweight, multipurpose cold creams can open up new avenues for disruptive product launches and market growth.
