What is DMSO used for?
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an organic compound that has been used for several decades in the health and scientific research fields. It is recognized for its unique ability to quickly penetrate the skin, making it a particularly studied transdermal penetration vehicle.
Scientific research focuses notably on its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
Directions for Use
Our DMSO is 99.9% pure and undiluted; prior dilution is recommended depending on the intended use. Apply only to perfectly clean and dry skin, as DMSO promotes the absorption of any substance present on the surface. Avoid contact with cosmetics or impurities before application, and always test on a small area before first use.
- Keep tightly closed, in its original container.
- Store at a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C.
- Protect from humidity, air, and light.
- Keep away from heat sources and incompatible substances.
⚠️ DMSO may solidify below approximately 18 °C (this is normal).
To liquefy it, allow it to return to room temperature (>20 °C) or use a gentle bain-marie (max. 40 °C).
DMSO naturally solidifies around 18–18.5 °C: this is a completely normal phenomenon, linked to its high purity.
However, it can remain liquid below this temperature due to supercooling, a physical state where a liquid does not crystallize even below its solidification point, as long as no element triggers crystallization. The purer the DMSO, the more likely this phenomenon is: impurities act as "seeds" for crystallization, and their absence delays the process.
Other factors favor supercooling:
- A smooth glass bottle, which offers few anchor points for crystals
- An absence of agitation, shock, or sudden temperature variation
A slight shock to the bottle, a vibration, or a rapid change in temperature can be enough to trigger almost instantaneous crystallization, even if the DMSO had remained liquid for several hours below 18 °C.
If your DMSO crystallizes, simply reheat it gently in a warm water bath, without exceeding 40 °C, until it becomes liquid again. Its quality is in no way altered.
Dioxypure® DMSO is selected according to high quality standards and complies with the specifications of Ph. Eur. (European Pharmacopoeia) and USP (United States Pharmacopeia) pharmacopoeias.
The product's analytical specifications notably include:
- Purity (Assay): ≥ 99.9%

Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) ≥ 99.9% is a high-purity organosulfur solvent, compliant with the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). It comes as a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic faint odor, whose purity is rigorously controlled to ensure optimal stability, consistent quality, and reliable reproducibility from batch to batch.
The formulation is free from any additives, stabilizers, or preservatives. The product is composed exclusively of dimethyl sulfoxide, guaranteeing total transparency regarding composition and a high level of purity, in accordance with international pharmaceutical standards.
Thanks to its specific physicochemical properties, DMSO is used in various professional, technical, and laboratory contexts requiring a highly pure, stable, and rigorously controlled solvent.
Common uses (in compliance with regulations):
Laboratories and research: Used as a reference solvent for analytical tests, physicochemical tests, experimental protocols, and research work.
Technical and industrial applications: Experimental processes, technical formulations, quality controls, and developments in a professional environment.
Educational and demonstrative uses: Observation of physicochemical properties of solvents, demonstrations in educational or technical settings.
Uses must strictly comply with local regulations in force, safety data sheets (SDS), and good practices for handling chemical products.
Secure pharmaceutical packaging
As with our Methylene Blue and CDS solutions, Dioxypure® DMSO is packaged in an airtight pharmaceutical container, designed to protect the product from air, moisture, and external contamination.
This packaging helps to preserve the stability of the product, ensure optimal long-term storage, and maintain the quality of DMSO until use.
DMSO can solidify below approximately 18 °C, a normal and reversible phenomenon that does not alter the quality of the product. It can be returned to liquid phase by returning to room temperature or using a gentle water bath (max. 40 °C).
Do not use a microwave.
