    You’ll need a standardised ladybird and a target bug.
    You put the target bug (it’s not a real bug, just imitation) on one side of an open jar of the cream. Then you place the ladybird on the other side. Use your cellphone app “Bugviscometer” to video the progress of the ladybird to the target bug. 
    Sorry. I haven’t figured out a way of doing that yet. So I just guess.

    You will need an apparatus to measure the viscosity. You can’t do it at your home with a stick and a rock. There are other alternatives of viscosimeters that don’t use a spindle.
