Making your own carrier cream/oil for transdermal vitamins/substances?

[Toff]

So Im a big fan of trasdermals - I like use dhae, 7 keto , 10 keto, Magnesium creams and sprays but they are either really hard to get in the UK or they are heavily overpriced (no discounts/crazy shipping) or simple unavailable yet I want the ingredient in non pill form.
Im always ahead of the game when it comes to researching new supplements and fancied making my own - anyone tried this for themselves?

my magnesium spray for example just comes in water, its terrible and never dries, i use transdermals by say Iconic and they are fantastic - I wonder what could be made at home that absorbs quickly

current thoughts, regular body cream, olive oil or shea butter

It would be easier to buy salvo from iron legion and use that as your carrier base. This way you know you have a good base to start.

Ok so developing on this, so far research suggests

Isopropanol,
propylene glycol,
benzyl alcohol
glycerin
nerolidol (an essential oil in plants)
musk for scent

For me, I think the first ingredient is a good idea, then prop glycol and glycerin you can but as mixes, say 80/20 premix
then some scent and tea tree or jasmine oil which have their own absorbing alcohols


Then grab your transdermal product mix and dropper out as needed.

Another natural transdermal for horse (!) was made up of
cold pressed Brassica napus (Rape Seed),
cold pressed Camelina sativa (Camelina),
cold pressed Cucurbita pepo L.(Pumpkin Seed)
cold pressed Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Sweet Almond).

Easier - sure, but once the recipe is down very cheap, like DAA is cheap bulk

I forget the brand but I once used a hand sanitizer that was basically composed of those top 4 ingredients on your list. Not going to be absorbed as good as Salvo but it will work. It's basically what's in AndroGel.
