Posted on: July 6 2014Cignoline (dithranol) processing in stable emulsion
Following prescription of dermatologist:
Cignoline 0.25%; Salicylic acid 3%; Olive oil, castor oil, sesame oil, aqua AD 100% DT 100 ml
Is it good idea to solubilize salicylic acid with Cetomacrogol 1000? This succeeds but after 1 day there is already discoloration of green nr yellow. Dithranol oxidizes easily: Add Vit C 0.1%?
Thanks in advance for your comment
Answer
Arrange for the recommendations for Dithranol in the TMF. Water is out of the question. A paste is described in the TMF; You can omit the ZnO and use the oils prescribed by the doctor.
