Why this product contains 0.3% Benzyl Alcohol which is skin irritant

The fact that my eye lids were irritated when I used the drops prompted me to stop using it. Since, my eye lids are back to normal ...no itch...no irritation. My problem was that I did not consult my eye doctor since this medication was for such an important part of my face...my eyes...my sight!

I'm sorry I don't know since I just got mine as well. But good question, please post when you have an answer. I really don't see why we would need a replacement if you alcohol (cleanse) your skin before each use.

If you do a web search on the company and/or brand name and product name (ie, Vi-Jon Swan 99% isopropyl alcohol) you can find the MSDS for the product. The March 4, 2014 MSDS says the product consists of isopropyl alcohol and water, but also states the "exact composition" is withheld as a trade secret.Keep in mind that it's manufactured and labeled only for "first aid" purposes, not for use in the manufacture of products intended for human consumption in any manner, so any use for those latter purposes is definitely "as your own risk."

The bottle says, "hypoallergenic, fragrance free, multi-purpose solution, paraben & alcohol free." It lists the ingredients as, "Hamamelis Virginiana (witch hazel) water, .15% benzoic acid." I hope this answers your question. :)

The ingredients are listed as benzalkonium chloride solution 0.13% and water. Don't know what benzalkonium chloride is but it doesn't say alcohol so I'm assuming no alcohol is used. Madeleine

There is an alcohol scent just like most over the counter alcohol products. It is not strong or offensive.

According to the ingredients alcohol is NOT listed in the gel or cream. I have another brand that I have used in the past, and Alcohol IS listed on that brand., (Cost Cutters)

Since the company claims that the product does not contain anything harmful, they are not required to reveal the components of the product by law. Here are the MSDS of the "degreaser" which is also excellent.

Dear Nikki,Thank you for bringing the inaccuracy to our attention, this will be corrected. The Witch Hazel has the standard 14% alcohol which is a necessary part of the manufacturing process for this type of product.Best Regards,Bulk Apothecary

This is 99% alcohol. There's nothing else in it other than slight impurities.

Cetyl Alcohol is the 4th ingredient. I should also add my hair is super kinky and dry. This product leaves it soft and manageable.

Sorry I don't know. I returned this product since my skin is quite sensitive that it won't work for me.

I can't attest to what it contains chemically but I wouldn't want my face in it per say. It works well for my weight room and under my squat rack. Slamming the barbell down repeatedly has caused it no noticeable wear.

Funny, I just set this product aside to give away to a friend who does not have chemical sensitivities. It is not alcohol free and for many of those of us who have cs it can cause a reaction. Hope this helps.
