Embodiment 1

[0195] A. Preparation of Skin Care Compositions

[0196] A non-aqueous skin care composition (Skin Care Composition A) was prepared by mixing together the following melted components: petrolatum made by Witco under the trade name Super White Protopet® and behenyl alcohol made by Henkel under the trade name Lanette 22. Super White Protopet(R) is petroleum jelly. The ratio of heavy aliphatic hydrocarbons with an alkyl chain length of 27-36 to light aliphatic hydrocarbons with an alkyl chain length of 17-26 is 2.3:1.0. The ratio of heavy aliphatic hydrocarbons with an alkyl chain length of 30-36 to light aliphatic hydrocarbons with an alkyl chain length of 20-26 is 1.3:1.0. Lanette 22 is straight chain C 18 -C 24 A mixture of primary alcohols. Lanette 22 contains about 70% C 22 Fatty alcohols, about 20% C 20 Alcohol, about 9% C 18 Alcohol, and about 1% C 24 fatty alcohol. The weight percentages of these ingredients are shown in Table 1 below:
