A fine, stable emulsion is critical when producing pharmaceutical creams and ointments. Proper dispersion of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) ensures not just consistency and texture, but also efficacy and stability.

In this video, we show how a Silverson High Shear Mixer creates homogeneous emulsions with droplet sizes between 2–5 microns (or finer depending on formulation). Our mixers rapidly incorporate APIs and excipients into the formulation, minimizing processing time and maximizing product quality.

✅ Silverson solutions for creams & ointments:
• Rapid and uniform dispersion of APIs
• Fine, stable emulsions for optimal skin feel and absorption
• Hygienic mixing equipment compliant with global pharmaceutical standards
• Equipment options for low to high viscosities and any batch size

🧪 Mixer recommendations:
• Batch mixers – ideal for low to medium viscosity small batches
• Bottom Entry mixers with scraper/stirrer – for high viscosity formulations
• In-Line mixers – perfect for recirculating large volumes in full-scale production
