Etymology
The word 'cream' originated from the Old French word 'creme', which came from the Late Latin word 'chrisma', meaning 'an anointing', in turn derived from the Greek word 'khrisma', meaning 'unguent, ointment'. The use of cream in skincare and food dates back centuries, with dairy cream being a staple in many cuisines around the world.
