Does anybody know if there is an “emulsifying calculator” in the net?

Something like soap calculators that calculate the amount of water and lye for the soap but for the use on creams and lotions. An internet tool that provided the amount of oils and water it calculates the amount of emulsifying wax you need to add.

I can’t find anything by myself in the net.
 
I haven't seen anything that would calculate emulsifying wax for you but I recommend swift's site for learning about formulating your own recipes. She has excellent information. Also, don't forget to read the comments to her articles. :wink:

You also might find these Percentage and Batch Size calculators helpful.

Thank you very much Hazel!
Both for moving the post to the right place and for the given links. :)
 
You're welcome! I just thought of something else - some suppliers list a recommended usage level so you might want to check the site where you bought the ewax.
 
Yes Hazel, this is actually what I am doing at the moment to make creams.

But if there was an online calculator it would be easier for me to create my own recipes.
