Ethanol derives from the fermentation of naturally occurring sugars. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature for the chemical compound ethanol is a structural composition consisting of a pair of carbon atoms with an alkyl group coupled with an -OH functional group; the -OH group makes it chemically an alcohol.
Ethanol has also been used efficiently in the clinical sector for disinfection and sterilization.
Rich in ethanol.
ANTIMICROBIAL BENEFITS
Alcohol denat. has antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, viruses and fungi by disrupting their biofilms.
The antimicrobial effect is based on protein denaturation and coagulation. It disrupts their cell wall and causes membrane damage with rapid denaturation of proteins, with subsequent interference with metabolism and cell lysis.
Alcohol denat. is safe to be used in cosmetic practice based on the concentration specified in this safety assessment.
