Description

Ethanol is a common ingredient in many cosmetic and personal care products. It acts as a binding agent, helping to cleanse the skin, as a preservative in lotions and preventing the separation of ingredients in the lotion, and also helps hairspray adhere to the hair. As an additive to cleansing products, ethanol is also used as a preservative, as it is effective in killing organisms that may be hazardous to consumers.
