If DMSO is so potent and absorbs everything, is it safe to have this sold in a plastic bottle? Just seems unsafe since plastic leaches. Please advise.

My opinion. . . pharmaceutical grade plastic bottles would be my first choice for any product containing DMSO. There IS a difference in plastic containers!!

l found this answer for you from a chemist answering the same question you asked....The suppliers of dmso in glass containers state that dmso will 'leach" out chemicals from the plastic. This is simply not true. they use this as a marketing ploy to sell their dmso. The fact of the matter is that when these suppliers buy their dmso (in many cases from us) they receive it in plastic containers. They refill it and state that the glass is better. Dmso when purchased in bulk comes in 55 gallon plastic drums. I am a chemist and thought you would like to know the truth of this matter. Another reason we use plastic is to avoid breakage problems.

This is botanical high grade DMSO. DMSO derived from trees smells like fallen leafs wet from rain when you walk on them--a wonderful woodsy smell. It is suitable for topical and oral medical application. It is called solvent grade on the label because of medical legalities. It's a loophole to sell it as solvent. This is NOT intravenous medical grade. You need a doctor's prescription to get that. There is DMSO on the market that I consider solvent grade (even though I've seen it called medical grade) that smells like petrochemicals as it is derived from coal, not trees. Even though this can have quite a high purity, the small by-products are so toxic I wouldn't recommend for medical. Even very pure botanical grade DMSO will dry up your skin, i.e., tear it up if you don't apply some nice olive oil, pure food grade moisturizer, or something like that with your DMSO. It's also nice to water it down with a little distilled water.

this is a good point which I would like to know as I want to get one of these but not if an unhealthy chemical is leaching into the water from heating of the plastic. If anyone knows about this I would love to know. thanks

No...just the usual warnings. Your best source for specifics on how to use DMSO is the Internet. This seems to be a high quality DMSO product. I have been very pleased with it.

Yes, I do. I dilute the DMSO to at least 60% percent chemical free water and spray on body, then wait a few minutes for it to dry and then spray on a mg chl diluted at about 60 - 70% water...then rinse off after 30 -45 minutes......it's a great delivery system and works very well on my Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I also drink a very diluted mg chl as well...the body makes use of the chloride in the stomach acid. Make sure to use good quality spray bottles for the DMSO as it can draw chemicals out of the plastic.

It is pure DMSO. ie no other ingredients.Other products claim to be pure but they are usually 4 parts DMSO and 1 part IPA and sold in plastic bottles (not good, DMSO is a solvent and like many solvents, can cause chemicals in the plastic to dissolve into the contents.)

Hmm. Great question. Nope. There is no information as to toxicity on the label. As this plastic seems to be infinitely remold-able I doubt that there is any out-gassing happening. The product is not soluble in the human body. The only danger I can see would be of choking/blockage so I would not want to swallow a hot/warm glob of this product. Children need to be supervised when using ThermoMorph due to the high temperature needed to mold the product.

DMSO is a solvent. It will dissolve all most anything. Putting on skin is dangerous because ANYTHING on your skin (or anything dissolved in the DMSO) will be absorbed into the body. This includes things that you might not think of such as deodorant, perfumes, lotions, germs, etc... Merely touching your finger to the liquid will cause it to smell on your breath within only a few minutes. I do not believe that DMSO is approved for use on humans in this way, although it may be approved for veterinary use ( I am not certain). Not sure of your your purpose or goal, but I would suggest that you read up on safe use of this material. DMSO is a solvent. It will dissolve all most anything.

Looks to me to be food grade ABS Acrinitrile Butadyene Styrene. Same stuff used for pharmaceutical pill bottles, the white ones. No migration into DMSO.

I've seen somewhere that you can use it in a spray bottle. But I'm unsure if being deluded would make it go bad over time. I would recommend just mixing as you need.

I would dispose of it in an environmentally safe fashion. The additives have a limited life span, and you are well through that span. Have a great day and thanks for asking. Richard Stoyeck

Thank You for taking your time to comment to my question. Hope the DMSO will continue to improve the pain problem for you.I find it helps me alot but can't use it every single day as it does burn the skin.

The makers do this for legal purposes. DMSO is not approved for human use. Owners of expensive race horses go through gallons of DMSO a year. I'm up to my second jar. It did start iterating my skin, but only after it cleared up a fungus I had.

Yes, with distilled or purified water. Remember DMSO grabs stuff and quickly brings it into the body so you don't want to take in any toxins from regular tap water. Dilute at a minimum 50/50. More typical use is at 70%-75% water.

I just keep it in my kitchen cabinet, it doesn't really go bad, I've had it for some time now and still using it, no where no close to the end of the bottle. I'd also recommend putting inside a plastic bag for extra protection since it seems like you always get some on the rim of the bottle or the cap, which subsequently gets on your finger, then in your eye (or something worse).

I am new to the use of Sulfer so I will answer by writing what is on the label. 99.9% Methylsulfonylmethane. Pure Food Grade Crystals. Sulfur Defense is drived from 100% U.S. sourced DMSO that has gone through a stringent distillation process to convert it to a crystallized food grade sulfur. Our sulfur crystals are the purest on the market at a guaranteed 99.9 % purity level! No binders, fillers, anti-caking agents, flow agents or preservvatives are added in any step of the process as all of these "other ingredients" can interfere with the uptake of sulfur in the body that makes most MSM supplements ineffective.
