Bad for dry skin
Alcohol Denatured is a great bacteria killer. Manufacturers often put it inside products to increase their shelf life.

#1Water
Origin: natural
Role: Solvent
EWG Rating [ 1 ]
Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.
