Ingredients Explained
Thymol is extracted from the oil of the herb thyme but can be created synthetically. It is often used as an antibacterial and antifungal preservative.
This ingredient is slightly soluble in water with a neutral pH but is extremely soluble in alcohols.
According a study on steam distillation, Thymol best absorbs UV radiation at 274 nm.
Thymol has been used as herbal medicine around the world.

This ingredient gets a bad rep because it is irritating and drying - mostly due to its astringent property. Astringents draw out natural oils in tissue, constricting pores and leaving your skin dried out.
However, alcohol denat. is not all that bad.
Due to its low molecular weight, alcohol denat. tends to evaporate quickly. One study on pig skin found half of applied alcohol evaporated in 10 seconds and less than 3% stayed on skin.
This also helps other ingredients become better absorbed upon application.
Studies are conflicted about whether this ingredient causes skin dehydration. One study from 2005 found adding emollients to propanol-based sanitizer decreased skin dryness and irritation. Another study found irritation only occurs if your skin is already damaged.
Small amounts of alcohol are generally tolerated by oily skin or people who live in humid environments.
The rule of thumb is if this alcohol is near the end of an ingredients list, it will probably not affect your skin much.
