it was called pomade in the old days. The original use was to replace wax on mustaches, I think.
Remember 1930s pointy upper lip hair, on villains and military types?
That was pomade, a harder version (more wax) of Vaseline, which is wax and oil mixture.

A room with a spew.
Brylcreem: The cream is an emulsion of water and mineral oil stabilised with beeswax (Wikipedia)
Nivea:Originally, sunflower oil emulsion, with water, glycerine and paraffin oil, IIRC.

Brings memories 🙂
I hated the greasy stuff but used the water based "rigid" gel type type extensively up to early 70´s.
Despite having been in the Royal Navy rather than the RAF, my father used Brylcreem when I was a lad. The screw-on metal lids of empty jars were screwed to the underside of shelves in the cupboard under the stairs and the glass jars used to store nuts/bolts/screws etc hanging under the shelves.
British Brylcreem appears to differ, both in packaging and in formulation, from American Brylcreem.
Since the 1960s, British Brylcreem has come in the red pot with the lion crest, whereas the American version comes in a tube.
There's an interesting article on British versus American Brylcreem here:

My father (ex RAF) used Brylcreem, and I used it until hair fashion changed with the Beatles in the early 1960s.

The glass jar on the right is what I was talking about. The red label is not so familiar though, I seem to remember them being mainly black and white.
