In the Indian pharma and dermatology sectors, ointments and semi-solid formulations are a critical component. To produce safe, stable, and effective ointments at scale, companies must combine formulation expertise, strict regulatory compliance, and reliable manufacturing infrastructure.

Below, we present a curated list of Top 10 Ointment Manufacturers in India, followed by a special feature on Impelled Remedies, a rising name in this domain.

Why Choosing a Reliable Ointment Manufacturer Matters

Ointments and creams are more complex than simple tablets. The challenges include:

• Phase stability: Ensuring oil and water phases do not separate

• Microbial control: Avoiding contamination in a semi-solid matrix

• Uniform dispersion of active ingredients

• Packaging/tube compatibility

• Regulatory oversight: Meeting DCGI, GMP, WHO, ISO, stability and validation requirements

A robust manufacturer ensures not just production, but also product stability, safety, and regulatory conformity.

Tips for Working with Ointment Manufacturers

• Pilot batch & stability testing: Before full production, run stability studies (accelerated, long term)

• Contract clarity: Specify tolerances, QC fail & rework clauses, packaging specs

• Quality checks: Validate microbial limits, uniformity, physical tests (melting, viscosity)

• Intellectual property / exclusivity: If your formulation is unique, guard it legally

• Supply chain reliability: Ensure raw material sources are consistent and quality‐approved
