Cool ointment always breaks PEG 400 90g urea 24g Cold cream ad 300g

This ointment always breaks. How do we solve this without tween or span?

Answer

The instability of this W/O cr è fix me without Tween or Span is not possible. The two substances added tap into water which breaks the CR è me. Add Span seems to be the most appropriate tool to stabilize the CR è me. But still I would rather opt for the addition of Tween, which will make the CR è me turn to an O/W cr è me, which so who has such greater stability as a W/O cr è me. One might think of the replacement of cold cream by an O/W base such as Beeler or Cetomacrogol TMF. Unlike these Excipi ë Ntia, cold cream contains no mineral fats but only natural products or analogues. This is an essential difference.
