Information

Alcohol Denat, or denatured alcohol, is an organic compound used in skincare for its astringent, refreshing, and antimicrobial functional properties.

Where does it come from?

Denatured alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar starches, such as those from beets or sugar cane. It can also be synthesized, though OLIVEDA exclusively uses alcohol derived from natural fermentation processes.

What are the benefits?

ANTI-MICROBIAL REFRESHING PENETRATING

What are the benefits?

  • Drying: Evaporates quickly, reducing the moisture content of the skin and hair.
  • Refreshing: Provides a cooling sensation upon application.
  • Antimicrobial: Exhibits some antibacterial properties, helping to maintain product hygiene.
  • Penetration Enhancement: Facilitates the absorption of active ingredients, like retinol and vitamin C, into the skin.
  • Astringent: Temporarily tightens and firms the skin.
  • Antifoaming: Reduces the tendency of products to foam when shaken.
  • Viscosity Decreasing: Lowers the thickness of liquid products for a smoother application.

How is it used in our products?

Alcohol Denat is used, for example, in H22 Hair and Scalp Treatment and S73 Organic Hand Sanitizer from OLIVEDA.  Its inclusion allows the product to evaporate quickly, leaving behind the aroma or active ingredients. It also aids other active ingredients to penetrate more effectively and serves as a preservative.  It enhances the deposition of pigments, such as in foundations, and aids in the comfort of application.
