Pomade Recipe for Hands, Hair, Lips, etc.

Dr. Chase's recipe for this old-time moisturizer, which had its origins a few centuries back as a primitive hair-gel and base for cosmetics.

Pomade.
Oil of sweet almonds, 4 oz
Spermaceti, 1 oz (see past article about replacing spermaceti)
Oil of lemongrass or neroli, 1/2 dram

Heat the oil and spermaceti till melted and combined. When cool, stir in the perfume oils, and jar up for use. (Dr. Chase reminds us of the importance of keeping it corked!)
