Such a fantastic resource, thank you!  I have a question regarding alcohol denat in a body moisturiser for dry skin.  It's listed as the 8th ingredient in Garnier Body Hydralock (Rich Texture) in the UK.  After my research on here, I have learnt that you can't simply isolate one ingredient and say that is is bad.  I have also read via your site that one of the ingredients known to be drying to the skin is that of alcohol denat.  I am really confused as to why it would then be in a moisturiser for really dry skin, even if maybe it's purpose is that of preservation.  The ingredients are as follows:

Water, glycerin, cyclopentasiloxane, urea (5%), mineral oil, propylene glycol, butyrospernum parkii, cetearyl alcohol, ALCOHOL DENAT, peg-100 stearate, glyceryl stearate, glycine, sodium hydroxide, sodium lactate, disodium edta, hydroxethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid, acer saccarinum extract, xanthan gum, acrylates/c10-30 akyl acrylate crosspolymer, methylparaben, phenoxyehanol, ethyparaben, parfum.

Apologies in advance for the potential poor spelling.

I'd be really interested to hear you thoughts on the use of this ingredient in this product.

Thank you :-)
