Questions, answered
The science, made clear.
Is there a compounding base that avoids the use of wetting agents (levigating agents) such as propylene glycol and alcohol?
Our compounding bases are formulated without harsh wetting/levigating agents like propylene glycol and ethoxydiglycol, ingredients commonly used to boost permeation but known to compromise the skin barrier over time. This makes them a safer long-term option for formulations requiring repeated or daily application.
Is there a base that mixes easily without requiring an Unguator or ointment mill?
Yes — our bases are designed for fast, simple incorporation of actives without the need for an Unguator or ointment mill, saving pharmacists time during compounding while maintaining a smooth, consistent final product.
I’m looking for a base that can hold a high concentration of APIs without breaking?
NOVODURE and NOVOLUX can each incorporate APIs at concentrations up to 70% without breaking or destabilizing, giving pharmacists flexibility for high-strength formulations while maintaining base integrity and texture.
Which bases are compatible with peptide compounding?
All three of our compounding bases — NOVODURE, NOVOLUX, and NOVOLUX HAIR — are compatible with peptide formulations, giving pharmacists flexibility to choose the right base for the specific indication (skin or hair) while maintaining peptide stability and effective delivery.
What's a high-performance analgesic base for athletes and sports injuries?
NOVODURE is a high-performance base well suited for treating sports-related pain, including Diclofenac or Ketoprofen formulations. Its deep-permeation delivery system supports fast, targeted relief that lasts for up to 24 hours.
I use topical pain relief creams daily for arthritis — is there a base that won't irritate my skin long-term?
Yes — NOVODURE is designed for daily, long-term use, making it well suited for chronic arthritis management. It's free of harsh excipients and pro-inflammatory irritants that can damage the skin barrier over repeated application, supporting skin health over time rather than compromising it.
OTC pain relief products aren't effectively soothing my pain — is there a stronger alternative?
NOVODURE offers a more targeted alternative to OTC pain products. Its Lipid Nano Particle (LNP3) technology delivery system helps active ingredients reach the site of pain more effectively than standard OTC creams, while minimizing the pro-inflammatory irritation that can come with prolonged use. NOVODURE has a loading capacity of APIs at concentrations of up to 70%, giving your doctor the flexibility to adjust dosing based on your specific pain level.
