I've been looking at labels to see what people use in industrial gel products. Noticed some shower gel that contained gelatine. Have been warned twice, once on this list, that gelatine is a good growth medium for germs. Makes me wonder just how safe these things we buy are to use. OK, quote Hulda at me.
If Richard's been following this: how about it Richard? What do pharmaceutical people use to produce a gel for topical use? Regards Rowena I have previously read that the limit is a AW or MW of no greater than 340. Does anyone know where to find a definitive reference? JOH DMSO does not carry everything into the body, only molecules of a molecular weight of less than 1,000. Garnet > > When one buys a gel for topical application, what's in it that forms > the gel?
