Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 In the Cosmetic Dictionary it is referred to as denatured alcohol. Ethyl alcohol has denatonium benzoate added to it to make it unpalatble or unfit for consumption before it can be added to cosmetics.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Available at public libraries. Got mine at & Nobel. You can buy it online also. Exact title is " A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients " , by Ruth Winter, M.S. Type this into your search. I use it daily. New volumes come out so you have to keep updated.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 yep you are right with a denaturant added to make it undrinkable...r For many years cosmetic manufacturers have marketed certain cosmetic products that do not contain ethyl alcohol (also known as ethanol, or grain alcohol) as "alcohol free." Some consumers select "alcohol free" products because they believe ethyl alcohol dries out their skin or hair. However, "alcohols" are a large and diverse family of chemicals, with different names and a variety of effects on the skin. This can lead to some confusion among consumers when they check the ingredient listings on cosmetic labels to determine alcohol content. In cosmetic labeling, the term "alcohol," used by itself, refers to ethyl alcohol. Cosmetic products, including those labeled "alcohol free," may contain other alcohols, such as cetyl, stearyl, cetearyl, or lanolin alcohol. These are known as fatty alcohols, and their effects on the skin are quite different from those of ethyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol, which some consumers may think of as drying the skin, is rarely used in cosmetics. To prevent the ethyl alcohol in a cosmetic from being diverted illegally for use as an alcoholic beverage, it may be "denatured." This means that it contains an added "denaturant" that makes it undrinkable. Denatured ethyl alcohol may appear in the ingredient listing under several different names. You may see the abbreviation SD Alcohol (which stands for "specially denatured alcohol"), followed by a number or a number-letter combination that indicates how the alcohol was denatured, according to the formulary of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF). Among the specially denatured alcohols acceptable for use in various cosmetics are SD Alcohol 23-A, SD Alcohol 40, and SD Alcohol 40-B. The term "Alcohol Denat." was introduced in Europe as a generic term for denatured alcohol in the interest of harmonizing ingredient names internationally. It frequently appears on products that are marketed both in the U.S. and abroad. You also may see a dual declaration, such as "SD Alcohol-40 (Alcohol Denat.)." le Glenn <rndani@...> wrote: Robin I tried to look up SD Alcohol, the kind in hairspray, but nothing came up.

I'm talking about ingredients in products such as cetyl alcohol.

I'm worried I might be confused on which products to avoid.

Per lorie might consider probiotics and an oral anti-fungal to decrease fermenting population of GI yeasties that might be causing your problem. Also if you are on any liver metabolized medication tylenol SSRIs that will worsen the situation. Check with your MD taper D/C or test outside of the half life of your drug if you can.
