Calcium sulphate dihydrate – Optimized excipient for formulation stability in pharmaceutical and cosmetic
1. General introduction of Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate
Calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O)is a high-purity inorganic mineral salt derived from refined gypsum. It functions as a versatile excipient and performance-enhancing ingredient in both pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. In pharmaceuticals, it acts as a matrix-forming excipient, enabling controlled drug release while maintaining the mechanical integrity of solid dosage forms. In cosmetics, it serves as a filler, opacifying agent, and rheology modifier, improving sensory properties and product stability. Thanks to its multi-industry applicability, calcium sulphate dihydrate has become a strategic ingredient for developing premium and differentiated formulations.
