Ointments are semi-solid preparations, usually for topical application to the skin or mucous membranes. They are often used for their soothing, protective, or medicinal properties. Ointments are made by mixing a medicinal substance with a base or carrier, which is usually an oily or semi-solid material that helps deliver the drug to the affected area. They provide a convenient and effective way to administer medications for the treatment of various skin conditions, pain relief, wound healing, and more.

The manufacturing process of the ointment

1. Preparation of oil phase.

Components for tablets or powders are pre-dry-mixed and distributed into mineral or silicone oils. Some ingredients may need to be heated in order to melt.

2. Hydration of aqueous phase ingredients.

Separate containers are used to disperse stabilizers, thickeners, and emulsifiers in water. It could take heat to speed up the hydration process.

3. Emulsion Formation.

Creating an emulsion by thoroughly agitating and mixing the two stages.

4. Dispersion of Active Ingredients.

Usually comprising only a tiny percentage of a formulation, active Ingredients need to be dispersed efficiently to optimize yield and product efficiency.
