frequently asked questions.

What is SDA 40B perfumer's alcohol used for?

SDA 40B is used as a solvent in fragrance manufacturing. It dissolves essential oils and aromatic compounds for perfumes, colognes, body sprays, and other cosmetic formulations.

Is SDA 40B the same as perfumer's alcohol?

Yes. SDA 40B (Specially Denatured Alcohol 40B) is commonly referred to as perfumer's alcohol. It is 100% natural ethanol (200 proof) with trace amounts of denaturants that make it safe for industrial and cosmetic use but not for consumption.

Do I need a permit to buy SDA 40B in bulk?

A permit is required for the 55-gallon drum size. Smaller quantities (16 oz, 1 gallon, and 5 gallons) do not require a permit.

Can I use SDA 40B as a standalone spray base?

SDA 40B is intended as an ingredient in cosmetic formulations, not as a standalone base. For a ready-to-use spray base, consider the Room Spray/Body Spray Base (Alcohol Based) which already includes moisturizing and skin-conditioning ingredients.
