Alcohol
Alcohols are added in many products like shampoos, creams, lotions and toners to give them good fragrance. Presence of alcohol can cause irritation and dryness in the skin.

Sometimes eye liners and mascaras also contain parabens like ethyl paraben and butylparaben which extends their shelf life but it can cause irritation and redness in eyes.
