Product Introduction

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol commonly found in various cosmetic and personal care products. Its sweet taste makes it popular in food items, but its benefits extend far beyond that. Known for its ability to retain moisture, sorbitol enhances the texture and stability of cosmetic formulations. This ingredient is often included in products aimed at hydrating the skin and improving overall product performance.

Production Process

Sorbitol production begins with glucose, which is typically derived from corn or other plants. Through a hydrogenation process, glucose is converted into sorbitol. This process involves adding hydrogen to the glucose solution, which transforms it into a sugar alcohol. The resulting sorbitol can then be purified and crystallized for use in cosmetic products, ensuring a high-quality ingredient that meets industry standards.

Efficacy and Function

Sorbitol has several functional properties that are beneficial in cosmetics. As a humectant, it attracts moisture from the environment and helps to keep the skin hydrated. This makes sorbitol particularly valuable in formulations for lotions, creams, and serums. Additionally, it contributes to a smooth texture and thickness in products, enhancing the user experience. Sorbitol is also known for its ability to stabilize formulations, preventing them from separating over time.

Application Scenarios

Sorbitol can be found in a wide range of cosmetic applications. Its role as a moisturizer makes it ideal for skin care products such as creams and gels. It is also used in shampoos and conditioners to improve hydration and manageability. Moreover, sorbitol is commonly added to toothpastes and mouthwashes due to its sweetening properties and low caloric content. Its versatility in formulations contributes to its popularity in the cosmetic industry.
