No, removing the contaminants shouldn't affect the effectivity of pain relief from DMSO.
The only thing may be that, if you really dry out the DMSO by removing all the water by using this crystallization process, you may find that you might have to add back a small amount of water in order to make it absorb properly. This is purely conjecture on my part, based on my use of really dry DMSO where, after applying, it seemed to not really react with the skin, or absorb, or even itch much until I added a spritz of water to it. I don't think that you should add too much water to it, and I would certainly start with a small amount of water in an isolated amount of DMSO. (Start with say, 5, 10, and 15% water by volume, for instance.) Don't dilute your main DMSO batch. I also feel that the breakdown process which makes stinky DMSO happens more quickly when there is more water in the DMSO. But I can't prove that. Another thing to consider is that your gel powder may need a certain amount of water to dissolve properly, and may not dissolve with just dry DMSO.
