Denatured Alcohol and Label info for hand Sanitizers
Are alcohols denatured with methanol safe to use in a hand sanitizer?
According to this:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18569160 they are, but I always thought methanol was toxic to humans, but it does read :
” Given their use as denaturants are at low concentrations of use in Alcohol, the CIR Expert Panel determined that Alcohol Denat. denatured with t-Butyl Alcohol, Diethyl Phthalate, Methyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Salicylate, and Methyl Salicylate is safe as used in cosmetic formulations with no qualifications.”
If all that is true, SDA 3A would be safe to use? If so,does the Methanol need to be on the ingredient list?
Does anyone know the legal limit for methanol’s dermal contact?
It there a point when an ingredient is at small enough percentage it does not need to be listed?
Thank you in advance.
