Is ForeverPure alcohol free?

Our witch hazel is completely, 100% alcohol-free. There are only two ingredients in our product: distilled witch hazel, and .15% Benzoic acid (used to preserve freshness). ForeverPure uses a stream distillation process—in essence, it is double distilled. The distillate portion (99.85% Hamamelis Virginiana, the witch hazel plant) is distilled first, and then the .15 Benzoic acid portion is distilled directly into the vapor phase of the distillate. The Benzoic acid acts as the preservative for the distillate.
