Next O/W emulsion breaks. How can this be remedied? ZnO 3g Starch 3g Burow Solution 6g Olive oil 50g lime water up to 150ml

Answer

Discussion:
Breaking the emulsion is due to the reaction of the formed Ca-oleate with the acid burowsolution with formation of oleic acid; so there is a W/O emulsifier.

Solution:
Add a non ionogenic W/O emulsifier as Arlacel C or Span 83 BV 8g for the deduction of the amount of lime water.
