    @Ted actually with kaolin , beewax , butter or fatty acid  and  liquid oils you can make what you want even in web you can find some formulation about that.

    @MurtazaHakim  for correction the best way i find that take for example 10 kg from your bad product then do correction with it for your case you need for sure acid to reduce ph as they said citric acid will be good choice then when you find the best quantity to add for correction , make your calculation to know adequat needed quantity for your batch.

    @Rae i have experiences in such product for temperature  hot process will be fine whatever temperature , higher temperature faster saponification in hot process i think 1 hour and half will be almost fine going at  to 3 hours.
    About steps it is always better cocking the diluating cause with time water will be evaporated if you want make diluating from start.

    Update: About borax beewaxate the hlb is near to 4 because it is used for w/o emulsion and return to required hlb for paraffin liquid  w/o emulsion we find 4 .

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G8edhMs2LLc
    this the video of making desired product it sees that oil level is more then 50% 
    Even by my experience for desired effects oil level almost will be more then 50%
    So you think i can not make my product with more then 50 % oils?

    @smok i think as members said it is easy to find such information in google so i have same thinking with @ngarayeva001 it is better for you to make researchements and efforts before ask for help.

    @Mel55 i think that rose hydrosol will be much better in cool down phase to protect thermosensible actif  of it.

    March 4, 2019 at 8:13 pm in reply to: w/o emulsion

    Thanks @ngarayeva001 and you have right about that type of emulsion depends on type of emulsifier . About Ester it is new information however i read that required hlb for w/o emulsion is generally lower then 7 so is it possible to make it with esters with higer hlb ( hlb of glyceryl stearate is already lower then 7) ?
    Just to be precise hlb i found for ester are only for o/w ( exemple IPM =11.5 ) so i guess if it is possible doing w/ester emulsion required hlb will be different from required hlb ester/w .

    @Amira i don’t think that lanolin wax will be more efficace then beewax for your need i have experience with such product , i think that you need to find the adequat amount of beewax .

    @Amira  petrolatum can contain different level of wax so if you want more hold just try to add few amont of beewax .

    @Aziz even  lower then 7 can work if level of surfctants is good . For ph higher then 8 it can cause irritation for hands.
