'Alcohol Free' toiletries Sometimes I see 'alcohol free' written in big letters on toiletry bottles, such as on deodorants and shaving foams.

You would think that the toiletries bearing these words contain 100% no alcohol, but looking at the ingredients suggests otherwise - I still see alcohols in these products.

So does 'alcohol free' only refer to one type of alcohol not being present in the toiletry, such as a type of alcohol which causes irritation etc?
Summarizing from the FDA website (some of this info could vary by country, but I think the general ideas should hold anywhere) commercial use of the term "alcohol" doesn't coincide with its use in chemistry. Cosmetic products use "alcohol" to mean ethanol, so you may find other alcohol compounds in a product that is ostensibly "$100\%$ alcohol free".
