161:6 Ink, milk, honey, and the syrup of figs, berries and carob are chatzitzos (interpositions) when dry but not when moist . Other fruit syrups are a chatzitzah even when moist; the same is true of blood.

161:7 Cosmetics that women use on their faces, hands and hair is not a chatzitzah. Similarly, if a woman's occupation is dyeing clothes and this causes her hands to be stained, this is not considered a chatzitzah since women who have this occupation don't normally care about this.
