Base of the Month: Humco Anhydrous
Posted by Emily Thompson on Sep 1st 2020
*Please note that we no longer carry bases at Total Pharmacy Supply, but we still offer a vast selection of supplies to support your pharmacy in all their compounding needs.
Humco’s Anhydrous Base is a great selection for active ingredients that are unstable in water. This nonaqueous, semi-solid base allows for slightly longer Beyond-Use-Dates since it contains no water. Intense studies validate the compatibility with many commonly used active ingredients. Such studies include: Progesterone, Piroxicam, Testosterone, Bi-Est, Salicylic Acid, Methimazole and more.
Much work went into the development of Humco’s Anhydrous Base to make it superior to standard anhydrous bases on the market. It works well with low-load hydrophilic and high-load lipophilic ingredients while providing a smooth, light and silky feel. Virtually non-greasy, noncomodogenic, preservative-free and petroleum-free, consider Anhydrous Base when you need an easy to use and very stable topical base.
