Isopropyl alcohol as a solvent/carrier for transdermal use with phlojel

[jhotsauce7]

Has anyone tried this?

Dissolving raw in isopropyl alcohol then mixing with phlojel for TD application?

If so how much ISo did you use for 60ml or rather how much per gram of raw?

I may be new, but it sounds like a bad idea. Isopropyl is toxic, especially if denatured.

Isopropyl alcohol and its metabolite, acetone, act as central nervous system (CNS) depressants. Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include flushing, headache, dizziness, CNS depression, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia, and coma. Poisoning can occur from ingestion, inhalation, or absorption; therefore, well-ventilated areas and protective gloves are recommended. Around 15 g of isopropyl alcohol can have a toxic effect on a 70 kg human if left untreated.

There is a good recipe for transdermal mixes on Basskiller's site.

I've used bass killers phlojel recipe many times... It leaves a 10% window for a solvent if you look more closely. I have experimented with a few recently with good results

Yeah, I used it for a dhea/pregnenolone mixture.

I have tried Iso/acetone and Iso/DMSO

The acetone mixture included aloe,ISO palmitatre, POLY Glycol, camphor and carbomer and worked really well
