INCI: Alcohol Denat.

Denatured Ethanol (maize-derived and non-GMO) 96.4% is a clear, fast-evaporating alcohol solvent used in perfumery, hygiene formulations, and general lab or studio work. It mixes fully with water, dries quickly, and leaves minimal residue on non-porous surfaces. It is denatured with a bittering agent and a trace amount of tertiary butyl alcohol, so it is not suitable for ingestion.

This product is certified: BWC.
