Calculate quantities for Simple Ointment. Weighed 2.5g of Hard paraffin on a class B balance, transferred to an evaporating basin. Heat this over water bath until melted. Weighed 2.5g of Cetostearyl Alcohol on a class B balance, transferred to the evaporating basin.

Weighed 2.5g of Wool Fat on a class B balance, firstly placing greaseproof paper on both side of the balance. Transferred to the evaporating basin. Weighed 42.5g of White Soft Paraffin on a class B balance, firstly placing greaseproof paper on both side of the balance. Transferred to the evaporating basin. Removed from heat and kept stirring with stirring rod until all ingredients are melted. Kept stirring until cool. Placed approximately 10g Zinc Oxide in mortar and ground with pestle to remove any lumps. Weighed 8.25g on a class B balance and transferred to a glass slab. Weighed 46.75g of Simple ointment from evaporating basin on a class B balance on greaseproof paper ensuring counterbalance greaseproof paper is used and then transferred to the opposite corner of the glass slab. Using a small amount of Simple Ointment rubbed this into the Zinc Oxide using the large spatula until a smooth paste was obtained. Ensured no lumps The Simple ointment was added in equal portions (doubling up method) mixing well between each addition until it was all evenly mixed in. Again ensured no lumps Then tared a 60g ointment jar on a Class C balance by placing jar minus lid on left hand side and used weights on beam until balanced ie the needle was in the centre. The correct weight (50g) was placed on the right hand side of balance. Filled jar using small spatula, firstly round the inside of the jar then filling in the centre. Smoothed off the top and cleaned round edge of jar ensuring still had required weight. The jar was then cleaned and polished.
