Isocol

Rubbing alcohol is a solution of isopropyl alcohol and water. Isocol is 64% isopropyl alcohol, which kills germs on the skin and then evaporates, so there is nothing left behind to wipe off.

Strength is a trade-off. Alcohol needs water present to work properly on microbes, and a higher concentration dries the skin out faster. Isocol sits at 64% to balance the two.

Same idea, different jobs. The spray is 64% isopropyl alcohol for skin, and it is the one for hands, a cotton tip or a quick freshen up. The wipes are a lower 7.5% alcohol on a cloth, with aloe vera and vitamin E, and they are made for hands and hard surfaces both.

It is a skin antiseptic rather than a facial product, and at 64% alcohol it is drying. Keep it away from the eyes, and do not use it on broken skin. If you have sensitive skin, test a small area first.

The rubbing alcohol should only be used by children aged 5 and over, under adult supervision. The wipes are suitable from age 3, but they are not baby wipes. Keep both out of reach of children.
