Rubbing alcohol is neither an acid nor a base. Acids have pH values less than 7 and bases have pH values that are greater than 7. Rubbing alcohol has a pH value of 7, so it is neutral. Rubbing alcohol is also called isopropyl alcohol.

∙ 15y agoThe alcohol part is not, but it contains additives that may be. Alcohols are often used to nuetralize some acids (carboxylic acids) to produce chemicals called esters. Rubbing alcohol has various ingredieints in different countries. In the US it is standardized as mostly ethyl alcohol with a bit of acetone and methyl isobutyl ketone. It can also contain some perfume oil, color and water.
