"Cold cream" makes me think of my granny. What is it exactly? Moisturizing stuff not shave cream right?
 
In the past,the cooling effect was achieved using menthol. My skin is sensitive to menthol, so I avoid such soaps.

Recently, a synthetic cooling agent has been introduced that is being adopted by some of the artisan soapmakers. one of the first soaps to be released was Noble Otter Orbit. I have a tub and it does provide a cooling effect without the irritation that menthol gives me.

Barrister and Mann Terror was just released on July 10 incorporating both peppermint and a synthetic cooling agent. I love the Excelsior soap base, but plan to skip this scent due to the peppermint. Will warns that this soap is "VERY COLD".

Although I have not used any mentholated soaps, some with which I am familiar are: Chiseled Face Cryogen, Fine Snake Bite, PAA Frost Byte, Stirling Margaritas in the Artic, CRSW Limenthol, Oleo Soapworks Polar, Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus, and a number of others.
