_Stick pomades._--Besides the soft, unctuous pomades thus far treated
of, we have a solid product--the so-called stick-pomades. These
pomades, which serve for the better fastening of the hair, are brought
into commerce either as _wax pomades_ or _resin pomades_, the former
being prepared from a mixture of lard, tallow, and wax, and the latter
from tallow, wax, and resin, to which some Venetian turpentine may be
added.
The following mixtures give good foundations for stick pomades:--
I. French flower pomade 4 parts, white wax 1½.
II. Fresh beef tallow 3 parts, fresh lard 1, wax 1½.
III. Best beef tallow 5 parts, yellow wax 1.
IV. Tallow 10 parts, wax 2½, resin 1, Venetian turpentine ¼.
V. Tallow 8½ parts, resin ¾, ceresin ¾.
VI. Tallow 4 parts, pale resin 1, yellow wax ¼.
VII. Tallow 10 parts, wax 2, pale resin 1.
VIII. Olive oil 2 parts, pure stearin 1, yellow wax 1.
IX. Tallow 9½ parts, ceresin ½.
X. Best beef-tallow 10 parts, yellow wax 1½.
The usual process of manufacturing stick-pomade is as follows: Melt
the fat, wax and resin in the water-bath, then strain the mixture and
cool it off by constant stirring until a thin film is formed upon
the surface. Then perfume and pour into tin moulds of oval, round
or square form and of various sizes. A dozen of such tin moulds of
the same size are generally soldered together and are provided below
either with a hinged piece, or they are open. In the latter case they
are placed upon a tin support with a high edge which serves for the
reception for the fat escaping from any of the moulds. The cold pomades
are pushed out by means of sticks of wood fitting exactly into the
moulds. They are then wrapped in tinfoil, labelled and brought into
commerce.
