ALCOHOL DENAT. SD ALCOHOL 39-B
Description
Alcohol Denat. SD Alcohol 39-B is a versatile and widely used ingredient in skincare and haircare formulations. This denatured ethanol is specially formulated to meet specific regulatory requirements while maintaining its effectiveness in various cosmetic applications. It functions primarily as a solvent, helping to dissolve other ingredients and enhance their penetration into the skin or hair.
In skincare products, Alcohol Denat. SD Alcohol 39-B acts as an astringent, temporarily tightening pores and providing a cooling sensation upon application. It also aids in the quick drying of formulations, making it particularly useful in products like toners and hand sanitizers. In haircare, it assists in the even distribution of active ingredients and can help to reduce excess oil on the scalp.
While effective, it's important to note that this ingredient can be drying when used in high concentrations. Formulators often balance its use with emollients and humectants to mitigate potential skin dryness. When properly formulated, products containing Alcohol Denat. SD Alcohol 39-B can provide benefits such as improved product texture, enhanced ingredient efficacy, and a fresh feel on the skin or hair.
