I would say that this is their intention as there are those who don’t partake in ethanol consumption either by choice or for cultural or religious beliefs.
Ethanol can be absorbed by the skin and taken into the blood stream…which may pose an issue for the above individuals.
Also, ethanol use on the skin is associated with skin irritation or contact dermatitis, especially in humans with an aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) deficiency.
