Did you know that not all isopropyl alcohol products are equal? There's the cosmetic grade isopropyl alcohol and the pharmaceutical grade alcohol that's proven to eliminate 99.9% of common germs and bacteria. Don't worry if this is the first time for you to read about this because I was surprised big time, as well! And this is why Defensil has teamed up with the Philippine Society for Microbiology (PSM) so Filipinos would know the difference.
The Defensil Health Defense Council formed by Defensil in partnership with the PSM recently launched the "Create Your Daily Defense" campaign so we can be armed with science-backed knowledge on proper sanitation and hygiene especially now with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Isopropyl Alcohol Label 101: Pharmaceutical vs. Cosmetic Grade Isopropyl Alcohol
Isopropyl Alcohols are registered under the Philippine FDA as either Pharmaceutical or Cosmetic Grade. To know the difference, the front label of a pharmaceutical grade alcohol shows the product’s generic name enclosed in a box. Meanwhile, the back label should show a DRHR number, which is the FDA Production Registration Number, proving that the product has passed the highest FDA Standards for isopropyl alcohol.
Choose PSM-recommended Defensil
One way to prevent the spread of germs is regular disinfection of hands and high touch surfaces using a rubbing alcohol. To provide a higher level of defense against germs in the new normal, the Philippine Society for Microbiology is recommending Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol.
