This is a type of alcohol that has been specially treated to make it undrinkable. It's commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products because it evaporates quickly and helps dissolve other ingredients.

SD Alcohol 38-B works in cosmetics by tightening and drying the skin (astringent effect), dissolving other ingredients to create uniform products (solvent), and adjusting product thickness to achieve the desired consistency.
