Isopropyl alcohol, also called isopropanol or rubbing alcohol, is one solvent used to keep magnesium carbonate in a spreadable liquid. Ethanol is the other common one. The November 14, 2026 titles in the checked set do not print a percentage.
Alcohol is why a thin coat can dry before the next set, and why an open bottle thickens over time. It also dries skin and stings on splits and flappers. Alcohol-free chalk creams exist. Friction Labs sells one. They take longer to dry and feel different.
The alcohol is not the grip. Once it is gone, you are holding with chalk and with whatever else stayed on the skin.
Friction Labs Secret Stuff Quick Grip Liquid Chalk
Friction Labs liquid chalk. The title is Secret Stuff Quick Grip. A second ASIN, B07S2TK63Y, carries the same title, so match the listing you open.
The November 14 check did not print a formula or a size. Read the bullets before you assume alcohol-free, hygienic, or original.
