Acetone


I'm going to assume acetone to be the major carrier. Certainly it works well; I would be tempted to use it as a model upon which to base a homebrewed skin treatment.
I would be concerned about these 3 ingredients when creating a topical suited to treat psoriasis. All three of these can be dry/irritate the skin, especially to those who may already be prone to skin problems.

However I wouldn't hesitate to use these items for my own needs or the needs of others who are not suffering from dry skin(except maybe the acetone, depending on how concentrated it was in the lotion/topical).

All the other ingredients look fine... for some reason I still feel that a very small amount of skin penetrator would be better in the chem free recipe I posted. I may be overly concerned that we are only treating the surface inflammation but not going deep enough into the skin to actually reduce inflammation beneath the surface of the outbreak.

Any thoughts miss Stinky stink? :hippy:
