General information on MSM Supplement Gels / Creams and Lotions
Pure MSM can be applied topically (as a Gel / Cream or Lotion).
You can buy ready made MSM creams and lotions on the web from a variety of companies however:
a). They tend to be expensive.
b). Most of the really good ones seem to be in the USA so you also have to pay the extra shipping if ordering from the UK.
The page below shows how to:

Recipe 1:
MSM / Aloe Vera Gel:
The easiest, quickest and probably the most effective recipe of them all!
Non-greasy and absorbs in to the skin and tissues extremely rapidly.
Note: Because you are making it yourself, you won't be adding preservatives (like most manufacturers do) so it's best to make 100mls at a time - that way you can keep making it freshly and it won't have a chance to spoil.
All you need is:
- Pure Aloe Vera Gel - 100mls (or more if you want to make more)
- MSM Crystal Flakes - 15 grams for every 100mls of Aloe Vera Gel)
Method:
1). Put 100mls of pure Aloe Vera Gel in a container or mixing bowl.
2). Add approx 15 grams of MSM (3 x rounded teaspoons of Crystal Flakes)
If you want to make more, simply add 15g of MSM for every 100mls of Aloe Vera Gel you use.
Note:
Don't add more than approx 15grams of MSM for each 100mls of Aloe Vera Gel you use !!!
Why? Not that it's dangerous or anything, its simply that if you add too much, it will become a saturated solution i.e. the MSM won't dissolve and will re-crystallise and become gritty to use !
3). Mix with a fork or spoon and leave for about 30 mins. The MSM will dissolve naturally in the Aloe Vera Gel. (Note: Use an electric hand blender if you want it to dissolve really quickly)
Both pure MSM and Pure Aloe Vera are non allergenic so are usually suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, however, always rub a small amount on a small area of skin and leave for several hours to make absolutely sure it suits you.
Use: As often as you wish.
Storage: Store in a sealed container (Use a well washed out old cream tub).
Storage: Store in a cupboard at room temperature.

Recipe 2:
MSM Cream / Lotion
Important
In the recipe below, you are going to add MSM to a shop bought cream or lotion of your choice, so if you have sensitive skin, choose a cream or lotion that you know suits your skin!
Notes:
You will have noticed that many shop bought creams and lotions are white. This is because when you blend oil with water it emulsifies and turns white.
Basically if a cream or lotion is white it means that you will be able to add a little more water along with the vital ingredient MSM !
Note: Don't try to add MSM directly to a cream without first dissolving it in water Why? - Simply because it won't dissolve and ends up gritty !!!
Go to your local shop or drug store - Super Drug in the UK has some great economically priced creams and lotions. Select one that you personally like the smell of, the thicker the better as you are gong to dilute it slightly !
Note - You are going to make a cream / lotion that contains 15% MSM (The amount recommended by the MSM Doctors).
Important - Without solvents it's difficult to raise the concentration of MSM above 15%. If you put too much MSM in your cream it will re-crystallise and feel gritty when you rub it on - so stick to around 15% or slightly less.
This simply means that for every 100mls of cream you have, you need to add approx 15g of MSM.
If you don't have any scales, a rounded teaspoon of MSM weighs approx 5 grams
Examples:
For 100mls of cream add 15grams (approx 3 rounded teaspoons of MSM)
For 200mls of cream add 30grams (approx 6 rounded teaspoons of MSM)
For 400mls of cream add 60 grams (approx 12 rounded teaspoons of MSM)
Method:
1. Put 100mls of Cream or lotion in a mixing bowl or container.
2. Place the appropriate amount of MSM into a cup.
3. Add about 2 tablespoons of boiling water. (Don't worry, MSM is a mineral not a vitamin so it's properties are not affected or denatured in any way by heat, even at extremely high temperatures.
4. Cover the cup and place in a microwave for about 10 seconds. Check that the crystal flakes have completely dissolved, if not, repeat for another 10 seconds.
5. When fully dissolved, slowly add to the cream and stir very thoroughly.
You now have your very own MSM rich cream - if you added too much water it will be a lotion!

The 2 tbsp of water with the dissolved MSM powder won't blend into the Aloe Butter. Do I heat it up?
