Super Refined™ Novol NF

Chemical description

Oleyl Alcohol

Product description

Super Refined Novol NF is a highly purified lipid-based solubiliser and skin penetration enhancer that acts as a wetting agent and active dispersant in topical creams and ointment applications. Super Refined Novol is a lipophilic enhancer that promotes skin penetration by means of bilayer disruption and disordering. It assists the percutaneous absorption of water-soluble and oil-soluble drugs by means of partial leaching of the epidermal lipids. The bilayer architecture of the stratum corneum lipids is disorganised by the introduction of phase separation and direct disruption of a proper lamellar arrangement. This results in the improvement of the skin’s reception for transdermal and transfollicular penetration. The proprietary Super Refining process removes impurities without altering the chemical composition of the excipient. This reduces the potential for adverse interactions between the excipient and the API, enhancing active stability and efficacy.

Enhancing Penetration of Topical Actives

In the absence of penetration enhancing agents, few drugs are capable of penetrating the skin or mucous membranes in therapeutically effective concentrations. Croda's range of SUPER REFINED penetration enhancers maximize the efficacy of topical formulations by allowing for more targeted API delivery, ensuring optimal dosage where it matters most.

Solubility Guide - Optimising Formulation Success

As API solubility continues to present challenges for the pharmaceutical formulator, in order to address this we have determined the solubility of a range of actives in a number of our high purity excipients. This baseline of information can provide you, the scientist, with a clearer starting point for your development work. Within this solubility guide, the solubility of 12 drug actives was determined using a range of our excipients for the purpose of demonstrating our capabilities to solubilise APIs.
