Frequently Asked Questions
What is Anhydrous Alcohol?
Anhydrous Alcohol is a high-purity, water-free alcohol containing minimal water content. Its anhydrous properties make it suitable for applications where the presence of water would interfere with the formulation or production process — including cosmetic, fragrance, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
What is denatured cosmetic grade alcohol and why is it used?
Depending on local excise regulations, it is common practice in the cosmetics and fragrance industry to use denatured cosmetic grade alcohol to avoid excise duties associated with beverage alcohol. By adding denaturants such as Bitrex or DEP, the alcohol becomes unfit for human consumption while maintaining its neutral odour and functional properties. Contact our sales team for more information on denaturants suitable for your application and market.
