It is NOT gentle, but it's notgoing to do anything bad to you either...well aside from clean hands
You might be wrong there. Surfactants and volatile organic solvents are not a good combination. If it catches fire, and rubbing alcohol has a low flash point, the surfactant ensures that the alcohol will stick to you! It's why you don't use surfactants and gasoline.
