Definition

Ointments that can absorb larger amounts of water with emulsion formation. Their bases are anhydrous hydrophobic ointments into which one or more emulsifiers are incorporated. Depending on the type of emulsifier an emulsion of the water-in-oil type (also lipophilic cream or hydrophobic cream) or an oil-in-water emulsion (also hydrophilic cream) is formed. The skin components remain the same for both types of emulsions.

Incompatibility
This section has been translated automatically.

Peroxide formation due to incorrect storage (protection from light, air and heat) can cause oxidative changes in incorporated active ingredients, which can lead to irritating effects on the skin.
Incorporation of aqueous solutions of surface-active agents ( Polidocanol, Liquor carbonis detergens) leads to breaking of the W/O emulsion.
Aluminium chloride, pyrogallol and silver nitrate cause a colour change.
Oxytetracycline-HCl leads to inhomogeneity and colour change.
