DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Creams that represent a transition between hydrophobic creams and hydrophilic creams. They have a bicoherent structure of hydrophilic and lipophilic phase and contain relatively high amounts of oil-in-water emulsifiers as well as water-in-oil emulsifiers. Without breaking the emulsion system, larger quantities of water as well as lipophilic substances can be incorporated, whereby an O/W or W/O emulsion system is formed with sliding transitions. They are almost universally applicable in the formulation.

IncompatibilityThis section has been translated automatically.
- In ambiphilic creams containing non-ionic emulsifiers with a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol portion, the incorporation of phenolic substances may lead to a loss of efficacy or even to the breaking of the emulsion depending on their concentration.
- Inhomogeneities can be caused by active substances such as benzalkonium chloride, benzyl alcohol, cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorocresol, hexachlorophene, β-naphthol, nipagine, oleum thyme, phenol. liquefact., Pix betulin., Pix juniper., Pix lithanth., polidocanol, pyrogallol, resorcinol, salicylic acid, tannin, tetracaine HCl and tyrothricin.
- Colour changes can be caused by dithranol, oxytetracycline-HCl, silver nitrate and tetracycline-HCl.
- Chloramine T leads to an odour change.
