Ingredient Safety Information
Ethanol
Ethanol is used in our cleaning products as a solvent to keep in solution some ingredients. It is a clear, colorless alcohol, produced by fermentation of sugars when used for alcoholic beverage. For industrial application like cleaning products, it is synthetically made from petroleum.
Ethanol is not harmful to aquatic organisms. Acute toxicity (i.e., L(E)C50) for several algae, invertebrates and fish species tested was greater than approximately 1000 mg/l. Chronic toxicity (i.e., NOEC) for algae, invertebrates and fish was greater than 280 mg/l.
Ethanol is widely recognized as being readily biodegradable in the environment as it is both a metabolite of and nutrient for microbes. There are no persistent metabolites formed during biodegradation.
