Huile antique of cassie 1 lb.
Huile antique of jasmine 1 lb.
Huile antique of orange flower 3½ oz.
Huile antique of rose 3½ oz.
Huile antique of tuberose 3½ oz.
Huile antique of violet 1 lb.
Paraffin 10½ oz.
Wax 14 oz.
This pomade has a delightful odor but is expensive; an inferior and
much cheaper philocome is made as follows:
Expressed oil of almond 8 lb.
Paraffin ½ lb.
Wax 14 oz.
Oil of bergamot 4¼ oz.
Oil of lemon 1¾ oz.
Oil of lavender ¾ oz.
Nutmeg 75 grains.
Cloves 75 grains.
Cinnamon 75 grains.
Pomades are usually colored—rose pomade, red; reseda pomade, green;
violet pomade, violet, etc. For this purpose aniline colors are
frequently used; they must be dissolved in glycerin and added to the
fat, as they are insoluble in the latter. The coloring matter is added
when the pomades are finished, before they are allowed to congeal.
B. Hair Oils.
These differ from pomades mainly by containing huiles antiques instead
of washed pomades; they are therefore more or less liquid and are used
for the hair as much as pomades.
