How do I work 10% salicylic acid in Bassron oil capitis into a stable preparation?

Answer

My first remark refers to the use of this raw material for a magistal preparation. Is This product accompanied by an analytical certificate? If so, no problem. But I found that this oil is able to dissolve 4% salicylic acid.   castor oil is known as the best solvent for salicylic acid but combined with octyldodecanol (Eutanol) It seems to be possible to prepare a 10% solution. Therefore, I suggest:   salicylic acid 10 g; Castor oil 60 g and Eutanol 30 g. Bassron would sell Eutanol.
