Alcohol Denat. / Alcohol (Denatured Alcohol / Alcohol)

A volatile cosmetic ingredient used in formulations as a solvent, purifying agent, light degreasing component, auxiliary preservation support and quick-drying enhancer. It helps dissolve fragrances, botanical extracts and certain active ingredients, giving products a lightweight, fresh and fast-absorbing texture without a greasy feel. It is commonly found in toners, lotions, sprays, deodorants, cleansers, oily-skin formulas and mattifying cosmetics, where it contributes to a cleaner, fresher and less shiny appearance. In products intended for dry or sensitive skin, it is best balanced with moisturizing, emollient and soothing ingredients to help maintain skin comfort.
