Thank you very much, guys! I just looked for guidance but you gave me a formula !! This was the type of ointment he was seeking to formulate. Thank you very much again, greetings from Spain!

Than for your answers! I increased the ceteareth-25 along with the Peg-7 glyceryl cocoate and lower the glycerin a little, after being about 7 or 8 hours in the refrigerator the result was very similar to that of commercial products but again after spending about 10 minutes at ambient temperature became a little thick liquid. Heat the water and oil phase to about 80ºC and allow to cool to about 40-45ºC to mix. Where should i rectify? This is the rectified recipe:

Water 59%
ceteareth-25 20%
Peg-7 Glyceryl cocoate 10%
Propylene glycol 4%
Glycerin 3%
Peg-40 Hydrogenated castor oil 2%
Pvp K30 1,5%
Polysorbate 80 0,5%

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately some materials such as ceteareth 20, pvp k90 are impossible to get … I have adjusted as Bill says ceteareth 25 and peg-7 glyceryl cocoate and seems thicker as I am looking, Now, once mixed phases as Should I let it cool? At room temperature or in the fridge? Thank you very much in advance!
