Organic alcohol – pure spirit without denaturants for safe hygiene and better absorption

Undenatured organic alcohol has an antimicrobial effect, evaporates without leaving residue and improves absorption – without irritating additives such as alcohol denat.

Introduction / Brief description

Alcohol (INCI: Alcohol ) is a traditionally used ingredient with antibacterial, disinfectant, and cooling properties. In our natural cosmetics, we use only pure organic alcohol (spirit of wine) from controlled organic production—without any denaturants, such as those commonly found in "alcohol denat." In low doses, organic alcohol improves the penetration of other active ingredients and supports the fight against germs—without damaging the skin's barrier.

Origin & Production

Our organic alcohol is obtained through natural fermentation from starchy or sugar-containing plants such as grains or sugar beets. Distilled in controlled organic quality, it is free from synthetic additives. Unlike conventional alcohol, our pure spirit contains no denaturants , which are not subject to declaration under the EU Cosmetics Regulation but can potentially irritate skin or disrupt hormones.

Effect on skin and hair

Disinfectant & antimicrobial

Organic alcohol reliably combats bacteria, viruses, and germs—ideal in hygiene sprays for hands or surfaces. Its effect takes effect quickly and leaves no residue on the skin.

Promotes rapid absorption

In very low doses (< 3%), alcohol improves the absorption of sprays and tonics. It has an evaporating effect and supports the optimal distribution of other active ingredients without re-greasing.

No skin drying at low dosage

While conventional alcohol in high concentrations can dry out the skin, our undenatured organic alcohol is formulated to be skin-friendly and does not cause irritation or allergenic residues.

Use in natural cosmetics

Pure organic alcohol is used in:

Hygienic hand and surface sprays with antimicrobial effect
Light hair care sprays to improve absorption
Tonics or sprays to support durability & distribution

Special features / Who is it suitable for?

✔ Free from denaturants – no hormonal or skin-irritating additives
✔ Vegan, cruelty-free, from controlled organic farming
✔ Residue-free – no allergenic traces on the skin
✔ Very well tolerated in low doses (< 3%) – even for sensitive skin

Conclusion

Our pure organic alcohol is a safe, naturally occurring ingredient with antimicrobial properties—without the risks associated with denatured alcohols. We use it selectively and in low doses in myrto products: for hygienic results, rapid absorption, and optimal skin compatibility—without compromising on purity.
