Univar Solutions scientists developed a lidocaine cream built on starch, sorbitol, coconut oil, and beeswax that matched a commercial benchmark on viscosity, assay, and hydration.

The aim of this study was to develop and optimize an orally dissolving film formulation containing a blend of active ingredients in a strategic combination of natural and synthetic excipients to achieve a balance between controlled actives release and rapid onset of action.
