Move ointment

Types of movable ointments

Movable ointments are also known as "transferable" or "shifting" ointments. They have unique features compared to other types of ointments. Some movable ointments are made into dosage forms like capsules, granules, and powders. Their common components are surfactants, solubilizers, preservatives, stabilizers, etc. Some of them are transferosomes that can shift through the skin to carry active ingredients. Transferosomes are liposome-like vesicles with a flexible, elastic membrane. They are manufactured to be able to deform and squeeze through the pores of the skin, allowing them to transport drugs or other therapeutic agents directly through the skin barrier and into the systemic circulation. This ability makes transferosomes a promising transdermal drug delivery system. Some other movable ointments are foams, creams, emulsions, gels, and microemulsions. They can take different shapes like liquid, solid, or semi-solid. For example, foam movable ointments are usually in liquid form, and cream movable ointments are semi-solid. Some movable ointments are multilayered or multiple emulsions. They have the structure of dispersing droplets of one emulsion within the continuous phase of another emulsion.

Specifications and maintenance of move ointments

With a variety of formulas and ingredients, the specification of each type of moving ointment is different yet includes the same core components:

• Container: The container for muscle rubs usually has a screw or flip-top, as moving ointments need to be repacked to be applied. Common containers are PVC pipes and plastic jars. Some plastic jar containers also come with a pump.
• Active Ingredients: The main ingredients usually included in the moving ointment are menthol, camphor, methyl salicylate, eucalyptus oil, and other herbal extracts. The role of menthol is to reduce pain and have a cooling sensation. Camphor is an oil extract from the wood of the camphor tree and is used to relieve muscle and joint pain and reduce inflammation. Methyl salicylate, commonly known as wintergreen oil, is an ester obtained from the mint plant and is often used in pain-relief ointments. Eucalyptus oil is extracted from the leaves of the eucalyptus tree. It is also an ingredient that helps relieve muscle pain. In addition to these ingredients, some moving ointments also contain lavender oil or peppermint oil that soothe the mind and body.
• Base: The base of the moving ointment usually includes paraffin, vegetable oil, or other oils. Beeswax is an ingredient often included in balms. The oil base helps to keep the skin moist and assists in the absorption of other active ingredients. Some moving ointments are in cream form, which includes water and emulsifiers as part of the formula.

In addition to the above ingredients, moving ointments also include fragrances, antioxidants, preservatives, colors, etc.
