Question
I just bought a product, and it has a very strong alcohol smell.
Answer
Sometimes, certain ingredients used in cosmetic formulations, even those that are not traditional alcohols like ethanol, can have a scent that might be perceived as alcohol-like. This doesn't necessarily mean the product contains a high concentration of drying alcohols. The specific scent can depend on the combination of ingredients in the formulation.
If you have concerns about the product, you might want to check the full ingredient list to see what specific components are used.
