Lanolin may be used as a hydrophobic vehicle and in the preparation of water-in-oil creams and ointments. When mixed with suitable vegetable oils or with soft paraffin, it produces emollient creams that penetrate the skin and hence facilitate the absorption of drugs. Lanolin mixes with about twice its own weight of water, without separation, to produce stable emulsions that do not readily become rancid on storage.

As there was no significant difference in stability of the complex mixed with the ointment, emollient cream was used instead. The colour change of the complex and hydroquinone only, each mixed with emollient cream, were compared as a fresh sample and samples kept at 40 °C for 72 h, as shown in Figure 4.58. The stability of the complex sample is conserved when the complex is mixed with the cream. The change in the L value is shown in Figure 4.59. 

Emollient creams and ointments used during and after work are also supposed to be effective in preventing contact dermatitis of the irritant type, but the epidemiological evidence is scant (Halkier-Soren-sen and Thestrup-Pedersen 1993). 

Important Treatment Modalities. Common ways of dealing with dermatological problems are topical treatments (such as ointments and creams) and oral treatments (drugs taken by mouth). Any bodily injury, irritation, or trauma that eliminates water, lipids, or protein from the epidermis compromises its function. Restoration of the normal epidermal barrier can often be accomplished using mild soaps and emollient creams or lotions. The often-cited dermatologic adage is If it is dry, wet it if it is wet, dry it. Consequently, wet compresses are a frequendy used remedy. A multitude of other topical treatments are available, from antibiotic, antiviral, or steroid ointments applied to treat infectious diseases or eczema to vitamin D derivative creams for psoriasis and retinoid creams for acne. Drugs can also be taken orally to treat a variety of conditions such as acne and autoimmune disorders.

Elder leaves are primarily used for topical applications as an emollient and vulnerary. They were traditionally mixed with tallow and made into an ointment for hemorrhoids, burns, bruises, sprains, chilblains, wounds, hives, eczema, tumors and gout. Elder leaf salve is reported to be as effective as cortisone creams. Elder is most beneficial in moving the stagnation associated with black-and-blue marks. Soaking cuts in a tea of elder leaves before applying the salve is another common first aid application. 

Stearyl Alcohol Reduction of ethyl stearate in the presence of lithium aluminum hydride yields stearyl alcohol, which contains not less than 90% of 1-octadecanol. It is available as flakes or granules which are white in color and possesses a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water and melts at 55-60 °C. Stearyl alcohol has stiffening, viscosity-enhancing, and emollient properties and hence is used in the preparation of hydrophobic ointments and creams. Its weak emulsifying properties help in improving the water-holding capacity of ointments. Hypersensitivity reactions are sometimes observed due to the presence of some minor impurities. Stearyl alcohol preparations are compatible with acids and alkalis and are preserved in well-closed containers in a cool and dry place [6].
