Did you mean Isopropyl Alcohol?

Glossary Isopropyl Alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol or rubbing alcohol, is a colorless, flammable chemical compound commonly used as a solvent and antiseptic. In the context of hair loss and hair biology, it is often included in topical treatments and formulations due to its ability to dissolve oils and enhance the penetration of active ingredients into the scalp. Its relevance lies in its use for cleansing the scalp and hair follicles, potentially improving the effectiveness of hair loss treatments. However, excessive use can lead to dryness and irritation of the scalp, which may negatively impact hair health.
