Are skincare products with alcohol (ethanol/ethyl) permissible and can they be used during prayers?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Skin care material does not need to be Taahir as far as you wash the Najis item before Salah. That also after being sure that the skin care is Najis. Not every alcohol is Najis according to many of our leading scholars.

Doubtful material (whether Najis or not) can be taken as Taahir till you have evidence that it is Najis.
