eti, 1/2 ounce.
White wax, 1/2 ounce.
Sweet almond oil, 2 ounces.
Lanoline, 1 ounce.
Cocoanut oil, 1 ounce.
Tincture benzoin, 3 drops.
Orange flower water, 1 ounce.

Melt the first five ingredients in a porcelain kettle. Take from
the fire, and add the benzoin and the orange flower water, fluffing
it with an egg-beater till cold. This recipe will make five ounces,
quite enough to prepare at one time. For those who dislike oily
creams it will be found delightful, as the skin absorbs it. The
mission of the skin food is to do away with wrinkles. Massage must,
of course, accompany its application. For hollow cheeks or dry,
rough skin it is unexcelled. Its fattening qualities plumpen the
tissues and so raise the lines of the face and gradually obliterate
them.

Clover Cream:

Spermaceti, 1 ounce.
White wax, 1 ounce.
Oil sweet almonds, 5 ounces.
Rose-water, 1-3/5 ounces.
Powdered borax, 20 grains.
Essence of clover, 5 drops.

Dissolve the borax in the rose-water and add the essence of clover.
Melt the white wax, the spermaceti and the oil of almonds, using a
porcelain kettle, as tin or iron is injurious to the oils. When
melted remove from the heat and add the rose-water (all at once).
Then beat quickly with an egg-beater until the mixture is cold and
firm. It is impossible for the rose-water to separate from the oils
if directions are carefully followed. The recipe given above will
fill an eight-ounce jar, so perhaps one-half the quantity should be
tried at first.

Camphor Cold Cream: Take one-half ounce each of spermaceti and
white wax, melt and add three and one-fourth ounces of oil of sweet
almonds, then add one-fourth ounce of camphor, broken into small
pieces, and stir until dissolved. Then pour in one and one-half
ounces of distilled water in which fifteen grains of borax have
been dissolved. Stir until well mixed and beginning to thicken,
then add four drops oil of rose, one drop oil of rose geranium, one
drop oil of ylang-ylang, two drops tincture of musk, and two drops
tincture of civet. Continue to beat until cold.

Cold Cream:

White wax, 1/2 ounce.
Spermaceti, 1/2 ounce.
Orange flower water, 2 ounces.
Almond oil, 4 ounces.

Melt all together gently and pour into cups to cool. When cold pour
off the w
