All ethanol for sale in Europe is usually denaturated. Save for special uses (some varnish recipes)…

Isopropyl will be "pure" if you can find it. That is: only isopropanol and water. It's not drinkable anyway.

Castor oil is ricin oil, erh… (contains toxics)
Diethyl phthalate is toxic, teratogenous.
Methyl salicylate is toxic too, used for fragrance (ripe apple)
I think it's all to help denaturate the alcohol. Each country has its own recipe for each alcohol sort, I wonder if people drink in Ireland so the authorities rely on such witchcraft to prevent the use of surgical spirits for drink.

BTW, I wouldn't use this for anything on my body. (besides it should be 70° to me useful, 90° is for workspace asepsis)

Stick to methylated spirits (to obtain 70°, add a mass of 44% of water), or to isopropyl/isopropanol.
