Science - Cosmetics, Beauty | | German term or phrase: Fettkörper | One of a long list of terms used in the cosmetics industry - I think it may be a component of skin cream. Sorry, that's all the context I've got!
TIA for your help, David. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseDr. David Willett: 9:41pm Mar 6, 2006: Thanks for your replies, but I have checked the glossary, and no, I'm sure this has got nothing to do with fat pads or bodies in this (cosmetics) context. Google for "Fettkörper Creme" (without inverted commas), and you'll see what I mean.

| | fatty body | Explanation:
As much as fat pad is right in a medical context, IMHO it doesn't apply here. I'm not too sure about if fatty body is correct (thus the low confidence level), but it does get its fair share of Google hits and the link below leeds to a US-American patent about a cosmetic composition.

That is "le*a*ds" of course.

Fatty base might be another option as I reckon the "Fettkörper" is a fatty substance that acts as the base of the cosmetic composition, especially in the case of a cream or ointment.

| lipid (body)
Explanation:
might suit your context
There are a number of Googles in connection with cosmetics. I've often heard the terms "lipids" or "hydro-lipids".
