Botanic Planet Canada Inc. Now Carries  Denatured Alcohol (SDA) 40B. SD alcohol has additives, namely bitrex, which is odourless but renders the alcohol undrinkable. Most commercially-prepared quality perfumes utilize perfumer's alcohol in their formulations. Perfumery alcohol is a "fixative" for natural essential oils and man-made ingredients in the event that the perfumes must sit for months on a retail shelf. Denatured Alcohol SDA 40B (Specially Denatured Alcohol 40-B) is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. SDA 40-B is ethanol (ethyl alcohol) that has been denatured meaning it’s made undrinkable by adding a denaturant (like t-butyl alcohol or denatonium benzoate). The 40-B formula is specifically approved for cosmetic and topical use.

Common Uses of SDA 40-B in Skincare and Cosmetics

  1. Antiseptic & Astringent

    • Often found in hand sanitizers, toners, and acne treatments.

  2. Solvent

    • Helps dissolve active ingredients or botanical extracts, particularly in perfumes, sprays, and certain serums.

  3. Preservative Booster

    • Enhances antimicrobial efficacy, helping preserve water-based formulations.

  4. Evaporation Control

    • Evaporates quickly, making it useful in quick-drying products like setting sprays and body mists.

  5. Carrier for Fragrances

    • Common in perfumery and fine fragrances to help disperse essential oils and fragrance oils evenly.

Safety & Formulation Considerations
