Topical & Semi-Solid
Formulation Development
Our Topical and Semi-Solid Formulation Services support the development of dermatological and locally acting drug products through
scientifically driven formulation design and evaluation.
We work with a wide range of semi-solid dosage forms to address formulation performance, stability, consistency, and
patient usability considerations.
Topical & Semi-Solid Development Overview
Topical and semi-solid dosage forms present unique formulation challenges related to drug delivery, rheological behavior, physical stability, and local tolerability.
Our formulation approach integrates pre-formulation data, excipient compatibility, and performance evaluation to support robust and reproducible topical product development.
Development strategies are tailored based on the intended site of application, dosage form characteristics, and regulatory expectations.
Topical & Semi-Solid Dosage Expertise
By combining formulation science with process understanding, we support the development of
topical dosage forms that demonstrate consistent performance and physical stability throughout development.
Key Dosage Forms
Creams
Oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems developed for dermatological application, offering balanced sensory properties, physical stability, and high patient acceptability.
Ointments
Semi-solid formulations designed for occlusive and localized drug delivery, supporting prolonged residence time, controlled release, and consistency.
Gels
Hydrophilic and hydrophobic gel systems engineered with controlled rheology and spreadability to support uniform application and reproducible performance.
Lotions & Pastes
Topical dosage forms designed for ease of application and uniform drug distribution, with attention to viscosity control and physical stability.
Selection of appropriate semi-solid dosage forms supports product performance, patient usability, and development continuity.
