Safety of Denatured Ethyl Alcohol for Hand Sanitizer
Question
I read that denatured Alcohol (Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol) contains Methyl Alcohol, which should not be ingested or applied to the skin as it can be harmful.
I recently purchased Ethyl Alcohol (99.9% , 200 Proof, Research/Perfumer Grade) from your store, and I noticed it is denatured. I plan to use it to make antibacterial hand sanitizer gel.
Can I use this specific type of alcohol to make hand sanitizer? Will it be harmful for skin contact?
Answer
English Answer:
Based on the product description for "Ethyl Alcohol (99.9% , 200 Proof, Research/Perfumer Grade)", this specific type of denatured alcohol is suitable and safe for making hand sanitizer.
Unlike typical industrial denatured alcohol which may contain harmful substances like methanol, this product is denatured using a volatile compound without bitter substances. The description explicitly states it is suitable for cosmetic use and even food-related work, confirming its safety for skin contact.
You can safely use this product to create your hand sanitizer gel.
