Ingredient-specific information

Partial evidence

Zinc oxide: ZnO: practically insoluble in water and ethanol.
These are selected facts for identified ingredients; relevant sensitivities and incompatibilities are detailed in the corresponding fields. This is not a complete SDS for every material.

References: [2]

Personal protective equipment

Partial evidence

Complete formula-specific PPE is not specified. Select gloves, eye protection and exposure controls using the exact materials’ SDS and the local risk assessment.
Supplementary AEMPS framework: clean long-sleeved laboratory clothing, hair covering and dedicated footwear/overshoes. Powder handling requires suitable eye/respiratory protection; change gloves with activity or damage. Select the exact type/material using SDS and risk assessment.

Risks and precautions

Partial evidence

A complete formula-specific hazard classification is not established. Assess potency, dust/aerosol, allergens, solvents, microbial risk and cross-contamination using the actual materials and process. Absence of a flag does not establish absence of hazard.

Compounding conditions

Documented in source

The corresponding AEMPS SOP specifies room temperature 25 ± 5°C and relative humidity ≤60%, unless the particular formula requires otherwise. This is the work environment, not processing or storage temperature.
Follow the addition sequence, temperatures and times stated under Preparation Procedure. The specific monograph is not a complete qualification of the local facility/equipment.

BUD rationale

Documented in source

3 months under the source conditions.
The source period applies to its exact composition, method and packaging. It is not this batch’s expiry date and cannot be transferred to another vehicle/strength. Calculate the actual date in the blank batch record.

Bases and dependencies

Partial evidence

No separate base is identified in the dependency register. Check any commercial vehicles/compound excipients listed in the formula.

Equipment

Editorial checklist

Indicative checklist derived from the method: Balance of suitable resolution, Containers and mixing tools compatible with the materials, Mortar and pestle, Controlled heating and thermometer. Selection/qualification is defined locally.

Preparation procedure

Documented in source

Melt petrolatum in a 50–55°C water bath. Warm a mortar with hot water, then dry completely. Triturate ZnO/starch in the warm mortar. Add molten petrolatum very gradually and work with the pestle until cool/homogeneous.

Observations

Documented in source

Lassar paste elsewhere may contain 2% salicylic acid, absent here. The main formula is 100 g while the leaflet says 110 g.

Packaging

Documented in source

Well-closed ointment container, <30°C.

Quality control

Partial evidence

Firm white paste.
Additional tests from the referenced SOP:
Appearance and mass. For batches: spreadability and microbiological testing RFE 5.1.4.
Spreadability PN/CP/003: fixed sample quantity between glass plates, with locally defined successive loads and times; measure two diameters and compare area against load. Temperature variation of ±0.5°C is suggested. The source gives no universal acceptance limit; establish it locally.
