Teach Soap

Hello,

I have this lotion recipe that I really like and want to tinker with but have no idea what percents are being used. It's:

2 grams Citric Acid (0.07 oz)
14 grams Glycerin (0.49 oz
24 grams Steric Acid (0.8 oz)
49 grams EWax (1.72 oz)
40 grams Mango Butter (1.4 oz)
70 grams Sweet Almond Oil (2.4 oz)
20 grams Jojoba Oil (0.7 oz)
828 grams Water (29 oz)
8 grams Germaben II (0.7 oz)
3.5 grams FO (0.1 oz)

I multiplied the grams by 0.0353 to get the ounce amount and my math could be off. Would I just add it all up in ounces and then divide by each amount to get the percent? Or is it possible to do? I know it should equal 100% percent but it doesn't.

I know how to do this for a soap recipe but not for a lotion one that isn't in percentages already. Last night I made another recipe for lotion which was great and I'm not hung up on this one and am willing to use another recipe. Just curious to figure out what percentages are in it.

Try a lotion calculator: http://www.sbwave.com/lotion/
or scroll to the bottom for this one: http://home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals/Lotion.html
