Cream Transdermal Formulation Development

In the dynamic pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, creams are essential topical dosage forms. Proper formulation development not only ensures the efficacy and safety of the product but also enhances user experience and satisfaction. At CD Formulation, we specialize in transdermal cream formulations and offer comprehensive development services tailored to meet diverse client needs.

Overview of Cream Transdermal Formulations

Creams are semi-solid external formulations created by dissolving or dispersing drugs in an emulsion matrix. These formulations can vary in oil content and texture, similar to gels. They are easy to apply and are typically used for large surface areas, such as in skin care treatments.

Characteristics of Cream Transdermal Formulations

• Preservation: Creams containing water may develop mold if stored improperly, necessitating the use of preservatives like chlorocresol.
• Stability: Drugs unstable in water, such as chlortetracycline and tetracycline, are unsuitable for cream formulations to maintain their effectiveness.

Types of Cream Transdermal Formulations

Creams are generally classified into two types based on the emulsifier used:

• Water-in-Oil (W/O): Oil-based cream for better skin penetration.
• Oil-in-Water (O/W): Water-based cream for lighter application and rapid absorption.
