  colloidal oatmeal

  Posted by LianePamuspusan on September 25, 2014 at 1:19 pm

  I looked through the forum and I didn’t see this brought up for discussion yet:

  
  

  I understand colloidal oatmeal is a monograph
  ingredient and based on the Skin Protectant Monograph it is regulated at the following level:   0.007% minimum (.003% if combined w/ mineral oil)

    By “minimum”, does that mean it is the minimum
  amount we can use in formulation?  If there is one, what is the maximum amount we
  can use? I saw a couple of products in the market that claim 0.5% - 1%, are those valid? Are there non monograph levels as well?

  Thank you in advance!

  There is no maximum use threshold for that material to my knowledge.  In fact, it is sold in solid state form (100%) commonly, though no drug claim is made.
