Ethyl alcohol, commonly found in hand sanitizers and some skincare products, can be drying or irritating to the skin, especially with prolonged exposure. It may cause redness or a burning sensation in sensitive individuals. However, in moderate amounts, it is generally considered safe for topical use. Always check for individual sensitivities and consult with a dermatologist if unsure.
