Is one absolved of responsibility by using cosmetics that contain non-intoxicating alcohol after researching and verifying its nature?

The fundamental principle concerning things is purity. Thus, if alcohol is not intoxicating, it is not ruled as impure; rather, it remains pure according to its original state until it is proven to be intoxicating. For this, one should refer to specialists. Therefore, if it is established that the alcohol present in cosmetic products is not intoxicating, then there is no objection to using them.
