Question

Posted on: February 19 2016

I am asked to prepare art earwax

The composition is: Vaseline Yellow 50%; Stearic acid 5%; Glyceryl monostearate 5%; Monooleine 15%; Undecylenic acid 15%; cetiolV 10%

Answer

There are several products no longer available. Glyceryl monostearate I would substitute cetyl alcohol and monooleine by Arlacel C. I hope that this does not alter the consistency of the preparation too much?
