Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

Next preparation gives a problem: Locoid lotion 30ml Salicylic acid 5gr LIQ carb Deterg. 10gr castor oil 2GR ethanol 60 degree ad 100gr

Answer

I suspect 5g salicylic acid is soluble in about 60g ethanol 60 °C but 2g castor oil presumably not. Also, certain ingredients will precipitate when diluting LCD (alcoholic solution). I would add 10g Tween 80. Maybe everything is kept in solution?
