Is the word cremosa the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "cremosa" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding its meaning, spelling, and grammar. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazil, the vowels are typically more open and the rhythm is more melodic/syllable-timed. In Portugal, the vowels are more closed and often reduced (unstressed vowels are much shorter or almost silent), creating a more "staccato" or consonant-heavy sound.

3. A textura do bolo ficou bem cremosa. (The texture of the cake turned out very creamy.)
4. Passei uma loção cremosa no rosto. (I applied a creamy lotion to my face.)
