Cerate, historically simple cerate, (from Latin ''cera'' "wax") is an unctuous preparation for external application, of a consistency intermediate between that of an ointment and a plaster. It can be spread upon cloth without the use of heat, but does not melt when applied to the skin. Cerate consists essentially of wax (for which resin, lead acetate or spermaceti is sometimes substituted) mixed with oil, lard, and various medicinal ingredients. The cerate of the United States Pharmacopoeia is a mixture of three parts of paraffin and seven parts of lard. ==References== *''The Century Book of Facts'', 1901, p. 398 *''Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary'', 1913 Edition. * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「cerate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
