The answer

Previously, it was established that intoxicating alcohol is an impure intoxicant ( najisah), which contaminates anything added to it. It is not permissible to use it purely or mixed with anything else, except in certain cases, including: if the alcohol is transformed by manufacturing into another substance, or if its proportion is very small, or if what the alcohol is added to is definitively a medicine and no alternative is available out of necessity. Based on this, the ruling on mouth spray and moisturizer is determined to be permissible or prohibited.
