INCI: Alcohol Denat.

Ethanol Denatured 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.

Q: Can I use it for perfume making?
A: Yes, it is commonly used as a perfume base solvent and carrier.

Q: Why does dilution matter for sanitiser-style projects?
