VIII. Lard 8 lbs., wax 1 lb., cocoa butter 1 lb.
IX. Pomade fat 12 lbs., soap 4 ozs., dissolved in hot water, borax ½ drachm. This mass will stand about ¼ water.
X. In summer: Fat 6 lbs., stearin 7 ozs.
In winter: Fat 6 lbs., stearin 4½ ozs.
To either mass given under X, add and combine thoroughly with it 14 drachms of borax dissolved in 1 quart of water.
The pomades, while still warm, are colored and finally perfumed. For perfuming, different volatile oils and perfume substances of suitable composition are used, 1 to 1½ ozs. of perfume being generally sufficient for 2 lbs. of fat.
