The ointment was never put on in the first place. See your Bible for the explanation as to why.

It most certainly was...And the bible tells you about it...

Joh 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
Joh 19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

Joseph and Nicodemus took Jesus' body to the grave...Nicodemus anticipating Jesus' death brought along the necessary spices and ointments and the wrapping cloths to wrap the ointment onto the body...They had but a couple of hours to get Jesus prepared...

By the time Mary got there, the grave was already sealed...

Mar 15:45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
Mar 15:46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

Joseph and Nicodemus and probably others rolled the stone to block the doorway...By now the day was finished and the Sabbath was starting...

In the meantime the women went in the other direct rounding up some cash so they could buy the spices and ointment that they knew Jesus would need...They were able to purchase the necessary spices and ointment...They located the grave site but it was already sealed with the large stone... They had no idea that the preparation had already been taken care of by Joseph and Nicodemus...And by then the Sabbath was upon them so they were stuck not doing anythng further since the Sabbath was upon them...

Mar 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
Mar 16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

The stone had been rolled away, Jesus was gone and the rest is history...But yes, Jesus' body had already been plastered with a hundred pounds of spices and ointment, performed by Joseph and Nicodemus...
