1. White
wax
......... Ό ounce Beat until creamy: not until cold. When the cream begins to thicken add a few drops of oil of rose. Only the finest almond oil should be used. Be careful I weighing the wax and spermaceti. These precautions will insure a good product.
2. White
wax
... 4 ounces Melt the wax and spermaceti; add the oil of sweet almonds, then beat in the glycerine, tincture of Benzoin, and oil of rose geranium. When all are incorporated to a smooth, creamy mass, pour into molds.
3. Sweet almonds,
blanched
... 5 ounces Make an emulsion of the almonds with water so as to obtain 16 fluidounces of product, straining through cotton which has previously been washed to remove starch. Dissolve the soap with the aid of heat in the necessary amount of water to form a liquid, add the wax and spermaceti, continue the heat until the latter is melted, transfer to a mortar, and incorporate the almond emulsion slowly with constant stirring until all has been added and a smooth cream has been formed. Finally, add the two volatile oils.
4. White
wax
... 800 parts Add for each pound of the cream 5 drops of etheric oil of bitter almonds, and 3 drops tincture of am bra. Proceed as in making cold cream. The following also makes a fine cream:
5. Spermaceti
. 3 parts Melt on a water bath the spermaceti and wax, add the oil (which should be fresh), and pour the whole into a slightly warmed mortar, under constant and lively stirring, to prevent granulation. Continue the trituration until the mass has a white, creamy appearance, and is about the consistence of butter at ordinary temperature. Add, little by litrle, under constant stirring, the orange flower water and glycerine mixed, and finally the perfume as before.
