@Fekher You also need to add some base (sodium hydroxide for instance) to neutralize the Stearic acid, so it can work as an emulsifier.

I have never understood this.  So Stearic acid needs some base to be able to be emulsifier (saponification I reckon). But wouldn’t it need higher pH to be able to maintain its properties? Meaning, if you would take the pH back down, it should “separate”, shouldn’t it? 
Could you please explain it to me good man?

Hehehe….Yes I have met others that did your course work, and they did not understand it as well.  In fact, they got violent when I tried to explain it….and I had to leave the group, as no one needs that in their life. 

Completly agree with Mr. Graillotion, about the reason leaving the group,  absolutely correct conclusion. Agree with all in discussion too!

Thanks, to Mr. Vitalys, for talking about using Petrolatum up to certain point in percentages, in current clinical condition in Skin disorder. We don’t seem to see that very often. Otherwise, I m relatively new here, but with expertise in clinical skin research, thanks!
