Hand lotion is a mixture of water, oil and an emulsifier! I don’t think an apolar diluent can have any place in it?
But I am sure its flavored very pleasantly regardless

Does this thing have alcohol as an ingredient?

I’ve been wondering why so much sunscreen has alcohol, exactly because of what you explained. Do you happen to know?
Not OP but just to hazard a guess:
Alcohol evaporates quickly. It’s probably there for the same reason it’s used in dry shampoos and antiperspirants; to make something that sprays but drys into a power or thickens to a gel in a very short period of time.
I don’t understand the connection? I don’t think sunscreen contains oil?
UV protection is based on a mineral or chemical filtration aaaaaaaand I looked it up oil does not provide UV prot
Huh I thought since most are moisturizing that they were basically lotion with extra sun protecting ingredients!
No alcohol? Sorry, can’t think of any use of that substance. Throw it away then…
Yes, would be happy to learn so otherwise if you actually had anything to add!
