Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

Following cream clumping:

Salicylic acid 5g
Triamcinolone 0.1 g
Liquor Carbonis detergent 3g
Tween 60 5g
Lanette N 7.821 g
Vaseline 13,035
Paraffin 5.214 g
Aqua 60.83 g < br/> I know that both salicylic acid and saponin coal tar the emulsion less Make it stable. But I seem to have an incompatibility in the formula rather than an instability of the emulsion. The emulsion exhibits small "clumping".

Answer

I suspect 2 problems:

  1. possible incompatibility of Tween 60 and salicylic acid. Could you replace it with after lauryl sulfate.
  2. precipitation of ingredients of LCD when diluting with water. You could wipe LCD on 6 g of starch and suspend it in the cream.

I suspect that running point 1 will suffice.
