Ethanol As a Solvent
Ethanol possesses excellent solubility. In the pharmaceutical industry, many drug components are insoluble in water but dissolve well in ethanol. For example, some tinctures (e.g., iodine tincture) are prepared by dissolving iodine in a mixed solution of ethanol and water. As a solvent, ethanol ensures uniform dispersion of drug components for easy storage and use; after application to the skin, ethanol evaporates rapidly, leaving the drug components on the skin to exert their effects.
In cosmetics production, ethanol is also commonly used as a solvent to dissolve ingredients such as fragrances and pigments, resulting in more uniform texture and more stable color of cosmetic products.
