Explore the complexities of developing effective topical semi-solid products—from excipient selection to manufacturing scale-up. In this CPL-hosted webinar, formulation expert Chetan Chure shares best practices for defining and managing Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) and how these variables directly influence product quality, consistency, and scalability. Gain insights into formulation planning, kettle design, rheology, and in-process testing that ensure robust, reproducible results across the lifecycle of creams, ointments, and gels.
