Guaiacol AKA, alpha-Methoxyphenol , or Pyrocatechol Monomethyl Ether.
Molecular properties can be found here: ortho-guaiacol 90-05-1
Guaiacol has been shown to have anesthesic properties, though to what extent I can't comment personally on. This fact is probably why solutions in high concentrations using the super solvent are reported to be painless or nearly painless by users.
Guaiacol is a creosote derivative and is commonly used in cough and cold medications in the US.
It has been shown to have irritating properties on inhalation, injestion, or skin contact in high quantities. It permeates the skin barrier very readily and will be distributed systemically as well.
Guaiacol is a combustable compound, so be very careful when brewing this if you use an open flame as your heat source. i would suggest everyone have a good hotplate with automatic, magnetic stirring if you regularly homebrew though.
Suggested use.
Most recommend 2ml guaiacol/1g of hormone you wish to suspend. You will want to use 1-2% benzyl alcohol as a preservative.
