Summary

Touchland Power Mist scores 55/100 — better than the drugstore mainstream but compromised by fragrance and propylene glycol family ingredients. Strong points: 67% ethyl alcohol active, glycerin and aloe to counter dryness, and a hyaluronic-acid hydration system. Concerns: synthetic fragrance (the brand's hallmark), phenoxyethanol preservative, hexylene glycol (a propylene glycol-family solvent), and microplastic-class polymers. Touchland markets heavily as 'clean' but the ingredient list reveals it sits in the upper-mid tier rather than truly clean. Notably parabens-free and propylene-glycol-free in the strict sense.
