Isopropyl Alcohol, also known as isopropanol, is an alcohol that evaporates quickly. Isopropyl Alcohol is a widely used ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products and can be found in products such as aftershave lotions, bath products, eye makeup, other makeup products, cleasnig products, as well as nail, hair and skin care products.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes Isopropyl Alcohol on its list of food additives allowed to be added directly to food as a flavoring or adjuvant. Isopropyl Alcohol is also on the list of secondary direct food additives allowed for use as solvents, lubricants, release agents and related substances. The FDA has also determined that Isopropyl Alcohol is safe and effective for use as an antiseptic Over-The-Counter (OTC) drug ingredient.The Food and Drug Administration has reviewed the safety of Isopropyl Alcohol and has included Isopropyl Alcohol among the ingredients allowed to be used in OTC antimicrobial drug products.

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives did not consider it necessary to set a maximum oral intake level of Isopropyl Alcohol. The Committee concluded that there was no safety concern at the current intake level from use as a flavoring agent.
