How do I make next W/O emulsion?

R/Sweet Almond oil 50gr Lime Water 50 gr Phenol 2 GR Zn Oxide 3 Gr After Borate 3 gr MFSA Lotio

Answer

Normally we do a five drops of oleic acid that forms with the lime water Ca-Soaps (W/O). But this product is supposedly no longer available.

ZnO is rubbed with five drops of Arlacel C and then with the oil. Add the lime water in which naborate is dissolved slowly and emulsifying. Finally, phenol is added.    

The whole can be mixed. Should the emulsion break, increase the amount of Arlacel C
