In our reference data, No Alcohol is a drying alcohol.
"No Alcohol" (alcohol-free) indicates a formulation that omits drying or volatile alcohols such as denatured alcohol, ethanol, or SD alcohol. It is a marketing/formulation claim rather than a discrete ingredient, often used to signal lower irritation potential for sensitive or dry skin.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Skin irritation | Rare | Alcohol-free products are generally well tolerated; irritation, if any, typically arises from other ingredients in the formula rather than the absence of alcohol. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Any reaction would relate to other components such as preservatives or fragrances, not the alcohol-free status itself. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
