Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi Jayne, Pure DMSO (99%) can cause a skin reaction similar to a sunburn. That's how it affected me, in the beginning, anyway. DMSO with aloe is easier on the skin, plus when you apply it it stays put. IMO, it's a lot easier to apply than the pure stuff. Straight DMSO is as liquid as water. The mixture is a gel. I've been using DMSO for over 25 years. The aloe gel 70/30 mix gets my vote. Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi Jayne and Dianne, When I first got roll-on DMSO 99.8% at the Feed 'n Seed, I liked the easy application, but it was too strong. Since then, I've found empty roll-ons on eBay, both the small perfume roll-ons and the larger, 1oz size, which let me make mixes and dilutions to my heart's content. It's also a way to apply expensive substances (like Aragan oil or Lugol's with the least amount of waste, and without getting it on the hands or getting what ever is on the hands, like lotions, etc. into the transdermal application. Be well, Léna Hi Jayne, Pure DMSO (99%) can cause a skin reaction similar to a sunburn. That's how it affected me, in the beginning, anyway.
