Italian term or phrase: creme istofile
E' dimostrato inoltre che l'uso continuato di creme non istofile, contenenti grassi d'origine minerale (ad esempio la vaselina), possono dar luogo alla comparsa di peli superflui

cremas lipófilas (ver explicación)
Explanation:
las cremas lipófilas son de base aceitosa (normalmente este aceite de origen mineral), en contraposición a las cremas hidrófilas, de base acuosa.
Se llaman lipófilas en castellano porque tienen gran afinidad por los lípidos de la piel (recordemos que las células tienen una porción lipídica en su membrana). En italiano dicen istofile (Histo: tejido, file: afinidad), en castellano lipófile (lipo: lípidos celulares, filos: afinidad);
