There are still individuals and sites, such as Sharpologist that oppose alcohol. Here is a Doctor with an interest in skincare that debunks that myth, it can be beneficial..
I don't see it as skin care, but I like the antiseptic properties.
Are there any lotions/balms which claim antiseptic properties which do not contain alcohol ?
There are many natural products which are anti septic, anti bacterial and anti fungal. Most essential oils cover all three - Lavender, Tea Tree, Lemon Myrtle, Geranium etc.Are there any lotions/balms which claim antiseptic properties which do not contain alcohol ?
Is she referring to aftershaves? No. Can the knowledge be transferred? Yes of course. That alcohol would assist the Panthenol and Allantoin in your aftershave. You do realise that sone Salicylic acid toners are just as strong as aftershaves.I won't argue with anything said in the video, but I think she is talking more about cosmetic products that have alcohol as an ingredient, rather than an aftershave splash whose first and primary ingredient is alcohol. Not saying that is bad for you either, but some of her points may be altered somewhat. Only you can decide whether something agrees with your skin.
There are pics in this forum from Mr Miquel, founder of Myrsol, who had great skin at age 94. He reportedly used only his Emulsion to shave and Plastic Shave splash as aftershave.
I hope to win the PIF given by the Captain. And I hope it has alcohol in it.
All my life I’ve used alcohol on my skin, and look how good looking I am.
This is super interesting. Do you remember where you heard this??
