I highly ephasize this.
BUYING A CARRIER IS A LOT EASIER THAN MAKING YOUR OWN, AND A LOT LESS INVOLVED. Hell, its probably only $2-3 more.
Getting Your Active Addition Into Solution:
-Keep your dosage low, because too much active is not better. You'll just end up with powder all over your application area after it dries. I would aim for around 50mg Active per mL of solution you make. Too much active also runs the risk of clogging up the sprayer nossle(if you use a sprayer, which I recommend).
-I recommend you put your created carrier into a glass vial. This is because often it helps to heat the solution to make it more homogenous. You can achieve this by either microwaving, or by putting water in a pan on the stove and heating it with the vial inside (either closed tight, or with the top out of the water. You don't have to make it THAT hot - DO NOT BOIL THE WATER. You really don't want to have the products of heated plastic in your transdermal, so like I said a glass vial is best for heating.
Application of the Finished Product, and Increasing The Efficiency:
-The thinner the skin, the better. Good areas include:
Inner forearms
Inner Wrists
Behind knees
Inner thighs
upper traps
hip flexor region
Upper chest
Tops of feet
-Shave the area free from hair.
-Rub hard, both vigorously and firmly.
-Shower before the application. Try not to use perfumed body washes or any lotions on the area of application. Plain old soap is ideal. Dry the area very well before application.
-Use gloves (powderless). Most actives will burn the hell out of your eyes, lips, and testicles, and since this is alcohol based it is VERY hard to wash off. It can last on your fingers for hours.
-NOT EVERYTHING CAN BE USED TRANSDERMALLY. This depends on molecular weight.

Abbreviation Key:
Assorted Definitions:
PRO-HORMONE( PH )
PENETRATION ENHANCER( PE )
STRATUN CORNEUM_TOP LAYER OF SKIN( SC )
Ingredients:
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL( ISO )
ISOPROPYL MYRISTRATE( IPM )
ISOPROPYL PALMITATE( IPP )
OLEIC ACID( OA )
PROPYLENE GLYCOL( PG )
Recipe (credited to curt2go):
40% ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL
15% ISOPROPYL MYRISTRATE
15% ISOPROPYL PALMITATE
10% OLEIC ACID
10% PROPYLENE GLYCOL
10% DMSO
THE FOLLOWING IS FOR A 240Ml SOLUTION, AS AN EXAMPLE!
40% ISO is 96ml
15% IPP is 36ml
15% IPM is 36ml
10% OA is 24ml
10% PG is 24ml
10% DMSO is 24ml
Mixing Your Carrier:
The 15% IPM and 15% IPP can be combined and just use 30% IPM...
ISO is used as a solvent. It will help disolve the ph into the solution. It also has some penetration properties.
IPP is used to lubricate the skin it softens it up so the skin can be penetrated easily by the ph(dries quicker and is not as oily feeling as the IPM).
IPM is used for the same reason as the IPP.
OA this is a powerful penetration enhancer. It works with the lipids in the skin to let the ph go through.
PG this stuff is oily. What it does is keeps the moisture from leaving the skin. The more moisture the easier it is for ther ph to penetrate. NO you can't just use water....
DMSO man i love this stuff. It is the most powerful penetration enhancer that is out there that is safe. This addition puts us over the top. This is a must in the solution. If you have sensitive skin this may irritate it but don't you want ot get bi. If it irritates too much go to 5% and add 5% to ISO.
If you don't like the smell of it then you could substitue 1-2% d-limenene for 1-2% of PG. BUT I like to just put in 2ml of scented oil. Go with the oil. Don't screw with the recipe......!!!!!!!!!
Special "thank you" goes to curt2go and chemo for the recipe, but as I said - just go out and buy a carrier, its so much easier.
