Hydrophilic Petrolatum, USP:

has the following formula for the preparation of 1000 g:


Cholesterol 30 g
Stearyl alcohol 30 g
White wax 80 g
White petrolatum 860 g
PREPARATION: It is prepared by melting the stearyl alcohol and white wax on a steam
bath, adding the cholesterol with stirring until dissolved, adding the white petrolatum,
and allowing the mixture to cool while stirring until congealed.

USE: These bases may be used as emollients, although they do not provide the degree
of occlusion afforded by the oleaginous bases. Absorption bases are useful as
pharmaceutical adjuncts to incorporate small volumes of aqueous solutions into
hydrocarbon bases. This is accomplished by incorporating the aqueous solution into
the absorption base and then incorporating this mixture into the hydrocarbon base.
