I wonder why it says "alcohol free" yet contains Cetearyl Alcohol?

A company can say a product is alcohol-free if it doesn't contain small (fewest number of carbon atoms) alcohols like ethyl or SD, methyl, or isopropyl. These smaller alcohols evaporate quickly and are the ones that dry skin.Cetyl , stearyl, and cetearyl alcohol are larger alcohols derived from fats or oils and aren't as drying and can actually benefit skin. A product can contain any of these and have the "alcohol-free" label. The term "alcohol-free" is a misnomer as it really means the product does not contain a drying alcohol.

Alcohols that have the yl at the end of the first part are called "fatty alcohols" and they are actually moisturizers. You'll see a lot of these in hair conditioner, for example. So don't be scared off by that

There is no alcohol in the product. I asked the same question be I gave it to my dog.

In order for a product to be labeled as 'alcohol free', it has to have less than .5% of alcohol in it. This pure vanilla is 100% alcohol free. I hope you purchase it and enjoy using it as much as I have. Thanks for your question :)

It does not say alcohol directly but some of the ingredients may translate into alcohol. For example, I have no idea what clematis vitalba is. All of the ingredients are things I do not recognize.

There is a very large section on the bottle devoted to ingredients...so I am not going to specify each. There is cetearyl alcohol listed as the third ingredient and benzoyl alcohol as the last ingredient.

The extracts may contain a tiny amount of alcohol. The amount of alcohol would be so small that only a chemist could measure the amount. If you are that concerned, send an email to the manufacturer.

It contains propylene glycol, which is an alcohol. You may want to Google this ingredient if it's a concern of yours.

According to the back of the bottle I received, it states that it is not tested on animals. I also researched Google and found out it is alcohol and cruelty free.

The products page, under "Important Information", says:"IngredientsWater, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Amodimethicone, Behentrimonium Chloride, Fragrance, Isopropyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Trideceth 6, Limonene, Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citric Acid, Coumarin, Linalool, Passiflora Edulis Fruit Juice, Bisabolol"It looks like that there are no parabens in it. The formula before this one used to be much better, so I don't buy it anymore, and wouldn't recommend it - unless you're looking for a conditioner, since this isn't a good detangler as it used to be. I hope this helps.

From the box: "Contains Isopropyl alcohol." I believe that is the _primary_ ingredient.

Sorry...I finished my last bottle, and the next six are not here yet, so I can't read the label. The most important thing for me is the lack of sugar alcohols...I have a great sensitivity to those...not pretty.
