The addition of spermaceti and paraffin causes the mixture to assume a crystalline form on cooling, the appearance improving in proportion as the cooling is slow and gradual. First melt the paraffin and spermaceti on a water bath, add the huiles antiques, mix thoroughly by prolonged stirring, and pour the finished product into the vessels in which it is to be sold. These vessels are previously warmed to 60 or 70° C. (140-158°F.), and very slowly after filling, so as to secure a beautiful crystalline mass. A second quality of crystalline hair oil is made according to the following formula:

Expressed oil of almond10 lb.
Spermaceti21 oz.
Paraffin14 oz.
Oil of bergamot2 oz.
Oil of lemon4¼ oz.
Oil of bitter almond150 grains.

Blossom Pomade (Pomade à Fleurs).

Expressed oil of almond4 lb.
Jasmine pomade28 oz.
Rose pomade28 oz.
Violet pomade28 oz.
Oil of bergamot½ oz.
Oil of lemon150 grains.

Bear’s Grease Pomade (Pomade à Graisse d’Ours).

Expressed oil of almond20 lb.
Lard24 lb.
Cassie pomade4 lb.
Jasmine pomade4 lb.
Huile antique of cassie1 lb.
Huile antique of jasmine1 lb.
Huile antique of orange flowers1 lb.
Huile antique of roses1 lb.
Huile antique of tuberoses1 lb.
Oil of bergamot½ lb.
Oil of lemon3½ oz.
Oil of nutmeg1½ oz.
Oil of clove4¼ oz.

This pomade is rather consistent; if it is to be made still firmer for summer use or warm climates, the almond oil should be diminished and the lard increased in proportion, or some tallow and wax added. The pomade is made by mixing the oil and lard, adding next the pomades and huiles antiques, and finally the essential oils. The temperature should not be higher than suffices to keep the mass liquid; the mixture is effected by vigorous stirring, and is then at once, though gradually, cooled.

Beef-Marrow Pomade (Pomade à Moëlle de Bœuf).

Lard8 lb.
Beef marrow4 lb.
Oil of bergamot1 oz.
Oil of lemon2 oz.
Oil of mace150 grains.
Oil of clove150 grains.
