Hi Melly,
That's a good point, but actually DMSO can't carry just anything
through the skin. There is a size limit measured in Daltons, that
makes many things non-transdermal. I hope there's some techie out
there who knows the Daltons of Shea butter, but my instincts tell me
that fats like shea butter might be too coarse to be carried. (Only my
instincts, but when I muscle tested, it tested as good for my use) If
it did pass the bbb, it would probably be a helpful thing, just like
VCO is proving to be beneficial to Alzheimer brain-cells that can no
longer feed off glucose, but can feed off the lipids of coconut oil.
Hmmm, maybe I should HOPE that the DMSO will deliver!
Be well,
Léna

Hi Lena,
I saw your post on wanting to create a Shea butter - DMSO creme.
Wouldn't DMSO take the shea butter to the blood stream and that DMSO
also crosses blood brain barrier taking the shea butter? Did you
want the shea butter in your blood stream and brain too? This is
just my two cents, from understanding that DMSO crosses blood brain
barrier and takes anything to the blood stream.
