How to use › Start here
New to DMSO? This page lists the basic supplies we suggest, so you can follow the How to use guide properly from day one. Every item opens on Amazon, and one button adds the whole kit to your basket. Please read the How to use guide before you mix anything.
Please read this first. This page is for information only and is not medical advice. Patch-test any new blend on a small area of skin first, and stop if redness lasts. Speak to a doctor or qualified clinician before you use DMSO, especially if you are pregnant, take medication or have a health condition. Keep DMSO and your blends away from children.
For people who want to make their own dilutions. Undiluted DMSO in glass, amber dropper bottles, labels, small steel funnels, glass measuring cylinders, nitrile gloves, aloe vera gel, castor oil, lab-grade water and essential oils.
Add the whole kit to your Amazon basketThe simple option. Undiluted 8 oz DMSO in glass, plus castor oil and amber dropper bottles. You dilute it yourself using the dilution guide.

Why: A small glass dropper bottle, useful if you want to start with less, or measure drops from the bottle.
Why: Undiluted, high purity DMSO in glass. This is the bottle in the full kit, and the one you dilute from using the strengths on the dilution guide.
Why: A larger glass bottle of undiluted DMSO, if you use it often.
Why: Undiluted, high purity DMSO in glass. This is the bottle you dilute from, using the strengths on the dilution guide.
Why: For your finished blends. Amber glass keeps out light, and a dropper lets you use a few drops at a time. Pour with the steel funnels below rather than the plastic ones in the box.
Why: Label every bottle with what is in it, the percentage and the date. Write with a permanent marker and keep DMSO off the label, because it can lift ink.
Why: Glass or stainless steel only, never ordinary plastic. These fit small bottle necks, so you can pour without spills.
Why: To measure DMSO and your diluent properly. Pour the diluent first, then the DMSO, and stir with glass or steel.
Why: Nitrile, not latex. Wear them while you measure and mix, so the DMSO only goes where you mean it to. Other sizes are on the same listing.
Why: Unscented aloe is one of the safe diluents in our guide, and it makes a gentler gel blend. See the aloe notes.
Why: Organic castor oil that can be mixed with DMSO in one bottle. Layering after the DMSO has dried is also an option. See the Oils page.
Why: Pure water for diluting DMSO, for the blends in the dilution guide.
Why: A starter set of six organic essential oils (eucalyptus globulus, lavender, lemon, peppermint, sweet orange and tea tree). Use on the skin only, keep oils at or below 4% of a DMSO blend, add them to the carrier rather than to undiluted DMSO, and patch-test first. Never nebulise an essential oil, or an essential oil with DMSO.
Why: Undiluted, high purity DMSO in glass. You dilute it yourself using the dilution guide.
Why: Organic castor oil that can be mixed with DMSO in one bottle. Layering after the DMSO has dried is also an option. See the Oils page.
Why: For your finished blends. Amber glass keeps out light, and a dropper lets you use a few drops at a time.
Why: Cleaner for hands, neck and shoulders, and better than cheap plastic rollers.
