Versatile™ Anhydrous Cream Base

by Fagron
SKU 6-VERSATILE-ANHY-B-697669

Versatile™ Anhydrous — High-capacity, Multipurpose Cream Base

Versatile™ Anhydrous Cream is a multipurpose base for topical medications that accommodates diverse ingredients and meets USP <795> standards for anhydrous preparations, allowing for extended beyond-use dating up to 180 days. Versatile Anhydrous is slightly occlusive and film-forming upon application but readily absorbs into the dermis in a few minutes. This base contains a unique solvent system within the cream that allows for lipophilic and hydrophilic API dissolution to form a homogeneous preparation.

  • Formulated with water activity below 0.6, meeting USP ⟨795⟩ standards for extended anhydrous beyond-use dating
  • A unique built-in solvent system dissolves both lipophilic and hydrophilic APIs into one homogenous preparation
  • Dermatologically and Clinically Tested
