HELIOTROPE POMADE (POMADE DE HÉLIOTROPE).
Rose pomade 4 lb.
Orange-flower pomade 1 lb.
Huile antique of jasmine 2 lb.
Huile antique of orange flower 1 lb.
Huile antique of tuberose 1 lb.
Vanilla pomade 2 lb.
Oil of bitter almond 150 grains.
Oil of clove 75 grains.
TRANSPARENT POMADE.
Expressed oil of almond 6 lb.
Wax 5½ oz.
Spermaceti 1 lb.
Oil of bitter almond 75 grains.
Oil of rose 150 grains.
Tincture of musk 1½ oz.
The pomade is completely liquefied after being mixed and allowed to
congeal in the vessels in which it is marketed. If successful, the
product must be quite transparent or at least decidedly translucent.
TONKA CREAM.
Tonka beans 1 lb.
Lard 8 lb.
The powdered beans are stirred into the melted fat, in which they
remain for several days, the fat being agitated from time to time; when
it smells strong enough, it is strained through fine linen, and the
tonka beans are treated with another quantity of fat.
VIOLET POMADE (POMADE DES VIOLETTES).
Lard 4 lb.
Cassie pomade 3 lb.
Rose pomade 2 lb.
Violet pomade 2 lb.
VANILLA CREAM (CRÊME DE VANILLE).
Vanilla 7 oz.
Lard 6 lb.
In making this pomade the material is treated the same as in preparing
tonka pomade. Ordinary vanilla pomade is made by triturating:
Peru balsam 7 oz.
Lard 2 lb.
Expressed oil of almond 2 lb.
First triturate the balsam with the almond oil and gradually add the
lard. Another, much better process is the following:
VANILLA POMADE.
Vanillin 80 grains.
Peru balsam ½ oz.
Lard 6 lb.
Dissolve the vanillin and balsam of Peru in about 4 oz. of alcohol.
Melt the lard at as low a temperature as possible, then add the
solution, stir until it is well incorporated, and afterward repeatedly
until the mass is cold.
POMADE PHILOCOME.
