Why
Alcohol-free means no drying alcohol: Alcohol Denat, Ethanol, SD Alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol. Fatty alcohols like Cetearyl Alcohol are waxes and never count, and Benzyl Alcohol is a preservative.
No, Nivea Soft is not alcohol-free. It lists Alcohol Denat.
Myristyl Alcohol and Lanolin Alcohol (Eucerit) are fatty alcohols: waxy, softening, and never counted as alcohol.
Benzyl Alcohol is not a drying alcohol (a preservative or scent component) and does not count.
This is not a safety warning. It is a label fact, useful if you avoid this group on purpose.
