I am very disappointed to have bought a product that is labelled as "alcohol free" only to discover it actually contains three different alcohols:Panthenol ~ most definitely an alcohol, but it's apparently acceptable because it is gentle and skin friendly. It's definitely not gentle and skin friendly on my skin!Propylene glycol ~ again, definitely a type of synthetic alcohol, but hey, it's okay to claim the product is alcohol free because propylene glycol is not the same alcohol as an alcoholic beverage! Neither is the hand gel we all used during the Covid epidemic, but we didn't wash our faces with it just because it's not an alcoholic beverage!Phenoxyethanol ~ another alcohol that is commonly used by the cosmetics industry because it's an ether alcohol and not the same as ethanol! To be absolutely fair to Simple, all of these alcohols are commonly used within the cosmetics industry and they can legally claim the product to be "alcohol free". I just wanted a genuinely alcohol free product and I am really disappointed that Simple, who claim to care about those of us with sensitive skin, would label a product in such a misleading manner. Mental note to self......take my reading glasses out shopping with me next time!
