I am trying to find documentable period recipes for ointments, balms,
salves, etc. Anything would be helpful, especially cosmetic applications
of the above. I have lots of books, but no actual recipes. Elinor
Fettiplace's Receipt Book mentions a cold cream "Lady Fettiplace's Oyntment
of Roses", but no recipe to redact. I have read about a famous 17th
century face cream produced by Gervase Markham, but again no recipe or
documentation.
Any help would be appreciated!!

There is a fine line between anal and efficient, I straddle it!
