Angel No. 1 Methylated Spirits

Angel No. 1 Methylated Spirits is a widely recognized multi-purpose product in the South African market. It serves various functions including household cleaning, fuel for small burners, and topical antiseptic use. The product is identifiable by its characteristic violet dye, which is added to render the ethanol undrinkable as per safety and industrial regulations.

The brand 'Angel' is owned and produced by Angel Perfumes & Cosmetics, a South African-owned company based in Gauteng. Founded to cater to the domestic and regional African market, the brand has grown to be a staple in many households. It remains a privately held entity, controlling its own distribution and manufacturing processes within South Africa.
