              Application No. 08/864,009                                                                               

              a liquid emollient in the Krzysik composition.  In our judgment, therefore, the examiner’s               
              rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is predicated on the impermissible use of hindsight                   
              and cannot stand.                                                                                        
                     The rejection of claims 1 through 46 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable                     
              over the combined disclosures of Krzysik and UNICID is reversed.
