Extractohol is 200 Proof Food Grade Ethyl Alcohol
Extractohol-O is 190 Proof Certified Cane Food Grade Alcohol
Extractohol is used to produce maximum extraction leaving minimal residual.
Extractohol is the best natural extractor to create herbal extractions, oils and concentrates. It is much safer than Butane and less costly than CO2 equipment. Both Butane and CO2 often use an alcohol wash, and can still use Extractohol for best results.
Extractohol is flammable and as such is required by the Department of Transportation to have special handling and label requirements.

Ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid used as a solvent, disinfectant, preservative, and extraction agent. It mixes easily with water and evaporates quickly, making it ideal for herbal extraction and food-grade applications.
• 200-proof = 100% ethanol (anhydrous)
• 190-proof = 95% ethanol + 5% water
200-proof is preferred for maximum extraction strength, while 190-proof is commonly used for tinctures and herbal concentrates.
Food-grade ethanol is purified to meet safety standards for consumables. It contains no harmful additives and is suitable for herbal extraction, essential oils, and edible applications (where legally allowed).
Denatured alcohol contains chemicals added to make it undrinkable. These additives may be toxic and are not suitable for food, herbal, or skincare products.
Yes. Food-grade ethanol is one of the cleanest, safest, and most effective extraction solvents and leaves minimal residue. It’s widely used for tinctures, herbal concentrates, resins, and essential oils.
• Safer than explosive gases like butane
• Less expensive than CO₂ extraction systems
• Produces clean, high-quality extracts
• Suitable for both small and large operations
• Leaves minimal solvent trace after evaporation
• Herbal extraction & tincture making
• Cosmetics & perfume formulation
• Sanitizers and disinfectants
• Laboratory processes
• Food manufacturing
• Industrial solvents
• Fuel and biofuel blending
Yes. Ethanol is highly flammable and must be stored away from flames, sparks, and heat sources. Use it in well-ventilated areas.
• Use in ventilated environments
• Keep away from heat
• Wear gloves and protective eyewear
• Avoid inhaling vapors
• Store in tightly sealed containers
Yes. Ethyl alcohol is commonly used in sanitizers, wipes, and disinfectants. However, frequent use may cause dryness or irritation.
If properly stored, ethanol has a long shelf life, typically 3–5 years, though many users report much longer stability when kept sealed.
• Store in a cool, dry place
• Keep containers tightly sealed
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Use approved storage containers
• Keep away from ignition sources
Because ethanol is classified as a flammable hazardous substance, carriers require special handling, labeling, and transport protocols, increasing shipping costs.
Yes. Ethanol is widely used in perfumes, lotions, toners, and other beauty products as a solvent, preservative, or base ingredient.
Absolutely. Ethanol effectively removes oils, residues, and contaminants and is used for household, industrial, and laboratory cleaning.
Extractohol offers extremely high-proof, high-purity alcohol suitable for herbal extraction and industry-standard applications.
No.
• Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is food-grade when purified.
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is NOT safe for ingestion or herbal extraction.
They serve different purposes.
Pure ethanol is not toxic in itself but can be harmful if consumed in large quantities or handled improperly. Denatured ethanol is toxic due to added chemicals.
Yes. Ethanol evaporates quickly and leaves minimal residue, making it ideal for extraction and filtration processes.
