Ethanol

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is a colorless, flammable liquid commonly used in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and as a solvent. It is one of the most widely used alcohols and serves various functions in the cosmetic, food, and industrial industries. In cosmetics and personal care, ethanol is valued for its ability to dissolve ingredients, preserve products, and provide a cooling or refreshing sensation upon application.
