| Wax | 14 oz. |
| Oil of bergamot | 4¼ oz. |

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.
Benzoated Oil (Huile à Benjamin).
| Sublimed benzoic acid | 5 oz. |
| Expressed oil of almond | 4 lb. |
The acid must be dissolved in the hot oil.
