Speaking of poison alcohol... don’t use denatured alcohol! Splurge on everclear and use for you cleaning needs. Also and this should be a given but as far as skin care goes don’t put alcohol on your skin. I just discovered that this aloe Vera cream from Walgreens at my friends house has denatured alcohol in it! I threw it away and when they get back to town I’m scolding them! I don’t want my godson having that anywhere near him! The problem is denatured with what? The only reason for denaturing in this day is to avoid taxes, at the cost of real health risks. It’s barbaric that this is still a thing.
- ramshorns 8y agoAlcohol (ethanol) is often denatured with methanol when sold for purposes other than drinking. This avoids the excise taxes and other restrictions on selling alcohol.
- wizardforhire 8y agoI’m well aware. And methanol is some nasty stuff. Soldering is already toxic enough better to not have your hands soaking in methanol while you’re at it. Having a skin moisturizer with denatured alcohol in it is just crazy to me! And the only reason for denaturing is carry over laws from prohibition. Anybody whose dealt with addiction in they’re family knows how sinister and terrible alcohol abuse is. But in the most extreme cases denaturing does not deter people from drinking it! So we poison alcohol to pat ourselves on the back? I’m not ok with it, and I think people should be aware of how toxic denatured ethanol with methanol actually is.
