Preparations which have been introduced years ago for the care of the ski and complexion are the glycerine gelees, which have the advantage over lanolin that they go further, but present the drawa back of not being so quickly absorbed by the skin. These products are filled either into glasses or into tubes. The latter way is preferable and is more and more adopted, owing to the convenience of handling.

A good recipe for such a gelee is the following;

Moisten white Tragacanth powder, 50 parts, with glycerine 200 parts and spirit of wine, 100 parts, and shake with a suitable amount of perfume; then quickly mi and shake with warm distilled water, 650 parts.

A transparent slime will form immediately which can be drawn off at once.
