Can I replace Tefose with Cetomacrogol?

A question about preparing a hand lotion. The non-ionic o/w emulsifier Tefose (PEG-6 stearate and Glycolstearate and PEG-32 stearate) we can't find anywhere. Can it possibly be replaced by Cetomcarogol 1000?
formula: 10g Jojobaolie; 30g almond oil; 10g Tefose; 150ml rosewater; 25dr lavender essence; 15dr sandalwood essence; 10DR Myrrhe

Answer

Use 10g Cetomacrogol-emulsifying-Wax (see Galenic formularium)
