Expressed oil of almonds 10 lb. Almond cream 3½ oz. Oil of bergamot 1 oz. Oil of bitter almond 1½ oz. Oil of lemon 150 grains. Oil of clove 150 grains. Oil of mace 150 grains. Water 1¾ oz. Sugar 3½ oz. In the manufacture the following rules should be observed. Effect the mixture in a cool room, the cellar in summer, a fireless room in winter. Mix the ingredients in a shallow, smooth vessel, best a large porcelain dish, using a very broad, flat stirrer with several holes. The sugar is first dissolved in the water and intimately mixed with the almond cream. The essential oils are dissolved in the almond oil contained in a vessel provided with a stop-cock. The oil is first allowed to run into the dish in a moderate stream under continual stirring. The mass soon grows more viscid, and toward the end of the operation the flow of oil must be carefully restricted so that the quantity admitted can be at once completely mixed with the contents of the dish. Well-made amandine must be rather consistent and white, and should not be translucent. If translucency or an oily appearance is observed during the mixture, the flow of oil must be at once checked or enough almond cream must be added to restore the white appearance, under active stirring. As amandine is very liable to decompose, it must be immediately filled into the vessels in which it is to be kept, and the latter, closed air-tight, should be preserved in a cool place. By adding ¾ ounce of salicylic acid, amandine may be made quite permanent so that it can be kept unchanged even in a warm place. We have described the preparation of amandine at greater length because its manufacture requires some technical skill and because the preparation of all other cold-creams corresponds in general with that of amandine. GLYCERIN EMULSIONS. A. GLYCERIN CREAM. Glycerin ½ lb. Almond oil 14 oz. Rose water 12½ oz. Spermaceti 3½ oz. Wax 480 grains. Oil of rose 60 grains. Melt the wax and spermaceti by gentle heat, then add the almond oil, next the glycerin mixed with the rose water, and lastly the oil of rose which may also be replaced by some other fragrant oil or mixture. If the preparation is to be used in summer, it is advisable to increase the wax by one-half, thus giving the mass greater consistence. B. GLYCERIN JELLY. Glycerin 2 lb. Almond oil 6 lb. Soap 5½ oz. Oil of orange peel 150 grains. Oil of thyme ¾ oz.
