    Thanks everyone,at first I was adding lecithin to the oil heat phase then when it cooled down I added the room temperature water phase ( avoided heating considering one of the water soluble additive  is heat sensitive). 
    And I wasn’t using a blender or mixer. I was using a spatula. I guess a mixer would have enhanced physical emulsion. Just to be sure, Is my water percentage(10%) too high for the binding capacity of 5% lecithin? In a formula with  85% emolients/oils.

    Still no replies. I haven’t found much information on w/o emulsions using soy lecithin. I’ll just have to conduct more experiments.
