Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) 99.8% – Preservative For DIY Cosmetic/Skincare Products

Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor and is one of the most used alcohols in skincare and cosmetic products. This alcohol is commonly used as a rubbing-alcohol antiseptic, to help improve the application and absorption of the other ingredients in your product easier and is often found in hand sanitizers, aftershave lotions, hand lotions and other cosmetic products.

Isopropyl alcohol is perfect for DIY skincare products as it helps to absorb and distribute other skincare ingredients evenly throughout the formulation. One of the other main benefits of Isopropyl alcohol is that it kills bacteria. This is why it is often used in hand sanitizers. Together with the fact that it readily evaporates makes it a great ingredient in both skincare and hand sanitizer products.
