It's listed as containing alcohol, but I agree with your point: it may be harmless and not necessarily the ethanol kind.

On the point about Cetyl alcohol, I see this on many products very often. I think L' Occitane's "youth concentrate" cream had it which made me avoid that product. Needless to say, it does say that it's "naturally occurring".
