I had no knowledge of snake oil terms, so I was confused by the "30C is just water". So after reading your comment, I had to go look it up and came across this [0] with description of the terms. For anyone else ignorant of snake oils ;-)

To be fair, the water used for dilution has orders of magnitude more of stuff already dissolved in it, if only from the person breathing on it.

Surely, you're not implying that someone making a snake oil would be doing so in a non-sterile environment without any kind good manufacturing practices being used. These things seem so trust worthy. I mean, even the government feels they need no regulations because they do it so well themselves.

To be fair, most probably don't actually bother with the original solute, and instead sell straight-up distilled water. Or just tap water.
