Is the  glycerine to thicken it?



Glycerin is to keep the skin from drying---- DMSO can  cause skin to dry.  
My son uses the mix on his legs---they get dry &  break out in the 
summer...He just needs to put it on in the morning every two or  three 
days...he does 
rinse his legs with distilled water to make sure the DMSO  doesn't carry 
anything through the skin that isn't supposed to be there   ...
