WOW! I ground through it. I guess I must have skipped class the day we  
covered cosmetics grade units. Well, fair enough. I suspect it is  
obvious to anyone with any science background that such units are  
quite silly at best, but because the cosmetics industry is a common  
source for a material we have use for, and they choose to use silly  
units, then by golly, I guess we need to understand silly units. I am  
just that much smarter today!  Thanks for the education!

FWIW: Those units are really VERY silly......  :-(
