1. A certain amount of alcohol can enhance the effect of cosmetics

The alcohol in cosmetics must be specially treated. Alcohol in cosmetics can promote skin absorption and help active ingredients penetrate the skin. In other words, alcohol actually plays a role in enhancing the effect of cosmetics.

The alcohol component helps to control oil, promote the shedding of dead skin cells, and has a good astringent effect. Therefore, alcohol is added to many men's skin care products, or to some functional and therapeutic cosmetics.

3. A certain amount of alcohol is beneficial for acne-prone skin

Alcohol has been considered by many authoritative dermatologists to be the best disinfectant, excellent cleaning agent and degreasing agent known to date. Its natural ability to remove oil and dirt is also very beneficial for acne-prone skin.

4. Denatured alcohol can solve specific skin problems

Denatured alcohol is often very effective for specific skin problems and types. The denatured alcohols permitted for use in cosmetics include SD 3-A, 30, 39 and 40. They generally have good auxiliary makeup removal capabilities, but are not often found in makeup remover products (probably because their penetration capabilities are also outstanding). At the same time, they can make other ingredients feel refreshing, non-sticky and easy to spread evenly.

5. The state stipulates that cosmetics can contain a certain amount of alcohol

Alcohol is an added ingredient permitted by national cosmetic hygiene regulations, and is a permitted cosmetic ingredient in every country in the world, without exception.

Finally, it should be noted that cosmetics containing alcohol are not suitable for sensitive skin.
