A wetting agent is usually a substance that lowers the surface tension of water, thus allowing it to flow and spread without beading, wetting the surface. MSM will transport colloidal silver into the dermis, going one step beyond wetting its surface. A super-saturated solution of CS with MSM can be made as follows.
Repost: I am reliably informed that the best results are achieved by a super-saturated MSM solution. To create such, a 1 or 2 oz (30 - 60 ml) solution of CS is heated until warm (not boiling) and MSM crystals are added (stirred in) until no more will dissolve. This solution is then preferably decanted into a fresh container and left to cool. Once cooled, the solution is said to be super-saturated as it contains more solute (dissolved MSM) than could be obtained by adding and mixing at room temperature. One should expect some of the MSM to crystallise and fall out of solution as it cools. For topical applications, it would be best to use a CS of high concentration (20+ ppm). This is the best transport mechanism for CS that has been reported, to date, as far as I know.
