Personally, I haven't been much concern with it if it's listed behind but I do wish it'll not be included. As for the fatty alcohols you mentioned, I went through a discussion with the others in my earlier post. Most said the same that it's different from conventional alcohols although I disagree in terms of the effects. I think they can be drying to our skin when too much is used - few shared my view. Anyway Dr Nitasha Buldeo also indicated that they are only different because of the fatty component and these ingredients are equally dehydrating.

I don't mind some alcohol if they're listed behind, but for many of these natural and organic formulations, I see them right on top. Otherwise, I see a bunch of them in the product. I suspect they try to overcompensate for the lack of preservatives. It is possible for the products to be alcohol free, just that they would need to formulate it differently. So I tend to be more forgiving if the product is cheap and affordable. If it's expensive, then I expect alcohol to be out of the formulation or to be of little %. Yes, I see phenoxyethanol a lot!

Some also use it as a delivery agent... I think it’s because they do not have the technology to stabilize the product due to a lack of preservatives unlike their chemical counterparts.
