The Cleaning Alcohol Molecule

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol is a molecule that I see and use on the daily basis. Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor. Isopropyl alcohol is an important molecule because it is a natural bactericidal treatment, meaning it kills bacteria but doesn't necessarily prevent their growth. This molecule also kills fungi and viruses. Isopropyl alcohol is mixed with water for use as a rubbing-alcohol antiseptic. It is also used in aftershave lotions, hand lotions, and other cosmetics. Isopropyl alcohol has been extremely important because it can be used to make hand sanitizer which has been in high demand lately because of the virus and everyone is trying to be safe during a pandemic. Isopropyl alcohol is a natural product. It is a natural product because it is a chemical compound that is produced by a living organism that is found in nature.
