    Try the local Drug store. It's a facial cleansing cream, I think. Do a google search to find it on the internet.

    To transfer it to another container (like a squeeze bottle) you put the original container in boiling water for a couple of minutes. The Alboline melts to a syrup. It has not been thinned but appears that way.
    It can be poured easily and then returnes to the gel state.
    Interesting & an interesting thread. I have used Mucilin for years & my only gripe is that as it "liquefies" in it's tin, it tends to leak. A small squeeze bottle seems like a great idea, & Albolene is certainly a lower cost alternative to Mucilin.
    One question....Does the Albolene tend to leave any "film" in water? I recall Hans W posting about a possible floatant long ago & he posted a picture of an oily film using an alternative to Mucilin. Was that Albolene?
    Thanks,
