Question
Can 96% alcohol be used instead of 99.5% Ethyl Alcohol in cosmetic formulations? What are the potential issues?
Answer
Based on the conversation, the staff does not recommend using 96% alcohol instead of 99.5% Ethyl Alcohol because the purity might be too low for cosmetic use, and the composition of the missing 4% is unknown.
