Ethanol is harmful by ingestion, inhalation or by skin absorption. Repeated contact can dry the skin resulting in the skin cracking, peeling and itching. Ethanol can depress the central nervous system, the eyes and upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). BENEFITS: Ethanol is a renewable fuel because it is produced from biomass. Ethanol also burns more cleanly and completely than gasoline or diesel fuel. Ethanol reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because the grain or other biomass used to make the ethanol absorbs carbon dioxide as it grows

BENEFITS:
BENZOPHENONE
Benzophenone is used as an ultraviolet curing agent, flavour ingredient, fragrance enhancer and perfume fixative, and as an additive for plastics, coatings and adhesive formulations.
IARC classified benzophenone as "possibly carcinogenic to humans". Non-cancer effects on the kidney and maternal effects were identified as critical effects for characterizing the risk to human health.
RISK: BENEFITS:
it can also be toxic if used in an inappropriate manner. If it gets into a person's eyes, it can lead to severe irritation and possibly blindness.

RISK:
Propionic acid is used as a preservative and flavoring agent in various types of packaged foods. This includes cheese but also baked goods like tortillas and bread. It's also used a preservative in animal foods like hay, corn, oats, wheat, sorghum and barley.
BENEFITS:
Methyl
Butanoate
Methyl Butyrate can affect you when breathed in and may be absorbed through the skin. * Contact can irritate the skin and eyes. * Breathing Methyl Butyrate can irritate the nose and throat. * Methyl Butyrate is a FLAMMABLE LIQUID and a FIRE HAZARD.
Methyl Butyrate is a colorless liquid with an apple- like odor. It is used as a solvent and as a fragrance and flavoring agent.
