    Liniment preparation is a lotion formation for Calcium Hydroxide and any Vegetable Oils.
    Final product is used for Diaper care for Babies.
    Can anyone shred some more light on this kind of formulation?
    Is it a Saponification process or a Hydrogenation step?
    Are any additional Emulsifiers required for stability?

    Looking forward to learn!
    Thank you

    Thanks Belassi…Does it require any additional emulsifier for stability?
    Saponification values are mostly provided for NaOH and KOH. How would you calculate for CaOH?

    Also, would the final formula create foam as usual saponification formulas as well? How would you avoid that?

    I can’t comment further, I’m afraid. You can try empirically.
