I used feed/fertilizer grade urea. I live in a farming area and was able to get 50 lbs of urea for $19. I would not hesitate to use fertilizer grade urea from a nursery. You should be able to get 15 lbs for about $16. I would think that the urea you propose will work too. My urea dissolves very easily in water so even urea in chunks should be ok.
I have not yet tried the DMSO/urea. I just ran across the posts this morning. Perhaps some member from 2004 remembers more about the technique? - Steve N From: Gail Rice [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 11:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: EXTERNAL:Re: CS>RE: Urea for dry skin RE: Urea for dry skin - and hair Steve Thanks for this interesting post. I love the idea of making my own remedies for my skin. I live in the US and I'm not sure how to source urea. Do you think the stuff they sell for purifying gold is ok to use? http://tinyurl.com/prill http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280502502969&rvr_id=1 24177288541&crlp=1_263602_263622&UA=M*S%3F&GUID=e086f76a1260a02653759325 fff7b7e0&itemid=280502502969&ff4=263602_263622#ht_1318wt_936 Would that be something that I could safely grind up and use? If so, is it "clean" enough to use in EIS/DMSO formulas? When I use DMSO I avoid other people because I worry that it will make some sensitive person feel ill from the smell. I'd love to be able to make a remedy that still allows me to relax and enjoy being with other people. Gail Rice
