Can astringent be used to disinfect?

I have some astringent, and it says on the container that it is used for acne treatment. Well I was wondering if it can also be used to disinfect things, like earrings for example. The astringent I have is made by the brand “sea breeze” and the active ingredient is salicylic acid.

Answer #1

Yes but normally used on outer skin - Topically used as astringent disinfectant to wound, infections, etc.

Answer #2

uhh no. Just no.
