Lime liniment cream – CRÈME OLÉOCALCAIRE
Dear Colleagues, this formula that I cited from the French Pharmacopoeia provides a soothing effect on inflamed surfaces when applied topically in dermatology due to its emollient and protective properties. It is used to soften crusts and skin in eczema and psoriasis. It is particularly used in the treatment of burns as well as acute and subacute eczema. It has lipophilic properties and is classified as a semi-solid preparation.
Formula:
Calcium hydroxide solution 25.00 g
Refined almond oil 25.00 g
Lanolin 25.00 g
White Petrolatum 25.00 g
Preparation of the formula:
Calcium hydroxide solution and almond oil are mixed by shaking vigorously and brought to 300 C. In a dish, lanolin and white petrolatum are melted in a water bath at 300 C. This mixture is poured into a mortar preheated to 300 C and stirred until solidification begins. Then, the previously prepared calcium hydroxide and almond oil mixture is gradually added to the mixture in the mortar and stirred until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.
Appearance: Pale yellow cream color with a characteristic lanolin (wool fat) odor.
Precautions: Do not work at temperatures above 300 C.
Wishing you a good week…
