Sorbitol Liquid Non-Crystallizing: A Versatile Humectant for Cosmetic Formulations

Sorbitol liquid non-crystallizing is a sugar alcohol derived from glucose. In cosmetics, it functions primarily as a humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture. This property makes it a valuable ingredient in a wide range of personal care products, contributing to improved skin hydration, texture, and product stability. The "non-crystallizing" designation indicates that the sorbitol is in a liquid form that resists solidification, making it easier to incorporate into formulations.

Why Choose Sorbitol Liquid Non-Crystallizing for Cosmetics?

• Powerful Humectant: Sorbitol's ability to draw moisture from the air and deeper layers of the skin helps to hydrate the skin and prevent dryness.
• Emollient Properties: It provides a smooth, silky feel to the skin, improving the overall texture of cosmetic products.
• Stabilizer and Thickener: Sorbitol can act as a stabilizer in emulsions and contribute to the viscosity of certain formulations.
• Sweetening Agent (relevant in oral care): While not its primary function in most cosmetic products, its sweet taste is beneficial in oral care formulations like toothpaste and mouthwash.
• Non-Irritating and Safe: Sorbitol is generally considered safe and non-irritating for topical use.
