Lanolin and iodine

Recipy that I made today:

Used liquid lanolin from Now Foods
Lanolin 10 gram
Iodine crystals 0,5 gram (not the prills)

Crushed the Iodine crystals in pestle and mortar, both lined with clean white office paper. A bit stuck to the paper. Was left with 0,459 gram of iodine.

Added the Iodine to the lanolin in a dark glass container. This now is 0,459/(0,459+10) * 100% = 4,4 % iodine.

According to the original recipe, you should add the Iodine by little bits and then each time stir for an hour, keeping the lanolin at 75 degrees Celsius. For every 0,5 gram of iodine he takes an hour. That’s nice if you have a lab. I don’t, so this is how I did it.

I heated the glass container au Bain-Marie: pan with hot water, bowl on top of the pan that shouldn’t touch the water. Put the glass container in the bowl and then put a lid on the bowl.

I started this at 19:30. I did put it on a very small heat source (smallest on my stove). When it started to boil, I removed the heat source and just let it sit until the water in the pan started to get too cold (I was able to touch the pan for a long time). Then I reheated etc. I did roll the liquid around in the jar every hour or so. I didn’t stir it.

You can see the iodine dissolving pretty rapidly. I went to bed at 22:00. Let it sit during the night (no heat source, so it cooled). In the morning I heated it up again. Started at 9:00. At 11:30 the iodine was dissolved completely. Well, as far as I can tell anyway.

The liquid is extremely dark now. When put on the skin without spreading out too much, it looks dark green. Then when you spread it, it goes yellow. Spread further and the colour fades. If you leave it on thicker, it will fade away pretty fast also. After 15 minutes to half an hour, it is faded. It doesn’t irritate the skin at all, at any thickness.

You only need very little! The fingertip-drop photo shows an amount that should suffice for both arms and whole face. For a few pimples, you’d only need a fleck of it on your fingertip.

The liquid is easily removed with soap. Not with water or alcohol.

The lanolin does have a faint smell of sheep. We always had sheep when I was growing up, and I don’t mind the smell. It’s not irritating to me, which a lot of chemical smells are, they make the inside of my nose feel raw. The lanolin doesn’t. The smell does fade. The smell is stronger when the liquid is warm.

I'm going to try this on my remaining skin spots, my bromide zits, infections, etc. My husband still gets these strange spots (fungi that go wild on his skin). So far, we've been using Lugols on them. But I think the lanolin mixture might be easier to apply and hopefully will work longer. We'll see.

Thanks Pago for the tip!
