N2  - Detailed examination of the unsaponifiable material from the skin wax of newly born babies has shown that the saturated aliphatic alcohols contain a high proportion of branched-chain compounds, and the aliphatic &#945;,&#946;-dials consist almost entirely of branched-chain compounds. The sterol fraction consists of cholesterol, and a minor amount of an unidentified sterol. The hydrocarbon fraction consists entirely of squalene.
