  W/O Cream Stability

  Posted by AndrewSeel on March 27, 2021 at 11:19 am

  I have a w/o cream 
  Shea Butter 2-5%
  Zinc Oxide 10-20%
  Lanette O 1-3%
  IPM 1-6%
  Paraffin 5-12%
  Petrolatume 1-5%
  Beeswax 0.25-2%
  for emulsification used 6% of Span 80+Span 60 and added GMS. I feel it not homogenous enough and not stable enough,

  So I added Polysorbate 60 which is o/w in very small percentage like 0.5% as a stabilizer which gave a good homogenous cream actually but not sure if the Emulsion has maintain w/o form and stability will be fine?!

  Also I added Magnesium Sulfate 0.5-1% I have tried Xanthan but has not give good result, 

  I appreciate your help in this please….
