  Would appriciate some advice on what denaturants for ethanol are commonly used in cosmetic products in the US? Is IPA or DEP the most common alternatives? Does the denaturants differ from different states? In EU, IPA and DEP are the most common alternatives.

  We used to use SDA 40 B, so tert-Butyl alcohol and denatonium benzoate. For some more natural-oriented products we also considered SDA 38-B (lavender essential oil)
