ALCOHOL DENAT.: what it is

Denatured ethyl alcohol is the English description used for ALCOHOL DENAT. in the INCI nomenclature. The technical description defines it as ethyl alcohol denatured with one or more denaturing agents.

The same description states that this denaturing follows the national legislation of each European Union country. The record gives CAS number 64-17-5 and EC number 200-578-6, but does not identify which denaturing agents are used in each case.

ALCOHOL DENAT.: what it does in cosmetics

ALCOHOL DENAT. is classified as ANTIFOAMING, ANTIMICROBIAL, ASTRINGENT, FRAGRANCE, SOLVENT and VISCOSITY CONTROLLING. The record brings together antifoaming, antimicrobial, astringent, fragrance, solvent and viscosity-controlling classifications.

These functions describe roles assigned to the term in a cosmetic composition. They do not state the concentration used or establish an effect for a finished product in a particular situation.

ALCOHOL DENAT.: conditions and care

The record provides no cosmetic restriction, maximum concentration, condition of use or additional regulation for ALCOHOL DENAT. It refers to national legislation applicable to denaturing, but does not provide a specific condition of use for this entry.

The absence of these fields is not a safety assessment. It only defines what is documented in this record and does not establish conditions of use beyond the available information.
