Hello,
my country has ongoing epidemic with scabies. There is no medicine available that has benzyl benzoate as an active ingredient yet, which is known to be effective cure for it. People are ordering it outside the country. Other option is to buy lotion made for horses.
Thats why Im thinking about producing it myself.
After making research I found out that the best way to do it is to make a semi-finished product containing benzyl benzoate and some emulsifiers. The customer will add his own basic lotion into it and mix it well. Basically I want to copy this (https://www.etsy.com/fi-en/listing/1364205423/benzyl-benzoate-makes-16-oz-454-ml-of-25?click_key=9e7e91fed799e779ad098d6f0ac35cee1b9f325e%3A1364205423&click_sum=55515026&external=1&rec_type=ss&ref=landingpage_similar_listing_top-1) product.
I found out that Triehanolamine is very controlled in the EU and not the safest option. Oleic acid would be ok but is there need for two emulsifiers?
Is there other good options for that? Would Soy lecitin work?
Im not an expert and my chemistry is limited to what I've learnt in college. So I would be thankful for good advice
