Reply: So how do you go about mixing the thymol into your syrup? I understand thymol must be dissolved into alcohol first, then the alcohol stirred into the syrup.
Allen asks: "Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is also added but I have not much idea what it does."
Reply: It's an emulsifier, but more of a soap. You find it in every bottle of shampoo.
