Alcohol-free skincare
Many hair and skin care products contain alcohol, but not all types work the same way. Sometimes alcohol is used as a solvent, preservative or to make a product dry faster. Well-known types are isopropyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol, which you often find in cosmetics and hair products such as hair sprays, gels or toners. Discover alcohol-free products at Salontotal.co.uk.

What is alcohol in cosmetics?
In cosmetics, alcohol refers to different types of alcohol compounds. The most common are:
- Isopropyl alcohol: Often used in disinfectants and hair sprays to quickly dry and remove grease.
- Ethyl alcohol (Ethanol): Common in perfumes, gels and toners; evaporates quickly and has an antiseptic effect.
There are also fatty alcohols such as cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol, which are actually soothing and moisturising. These alcohols do not dry out the skin or hair.
Disadvantages of alcohol in personal care products
- Can be drying for skin and hair when used frequently.
- Not always suitable for sensitive skin.
- Can cause frizz or fragility in dry or curly hair.
This is why many people consciously choose alcohol-free products, especially for dry or sensitive skin and for dry or coloured hair.
