Sorbitol Liquid Non-Crystallizing: A Versatile Humectant for Cosmetics

Sorbitol liquid non-crystallizing is a sugar alcohol derived from glucose. It is a clear, colorless, viscous liquid with a sweet taste, though its primary function in cosmetics is not flavoring. Instead, sorbitol acts as a powerful humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture. This property makes it a valuable ingredient in a wide range of skincare, haircare, and oral care products. The non-crystallizing form is specifically processed to prevent the formation of sugar crystals, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture in finished products.

Why Choose Sorbitol Liquid Non-Crystallizing for Cosmetics?

• Powerful Humectant: Sorbitol's ability to draw moisture from the air and bind it to the skin or hair makes it an excellent hydrating agent. This helps to prevent dryness, improve elasticity, and provide a soft, supple feel.
• Emollient Properties: It also acts as an emollient, softening and smoothing the skin's surface.
• Texture Enhancer: Sorbitol contributes to the smooth, creamy texture of many cosmetic formulations.
• Stabilizer: It can help stabilize emulsions and prevent separation in creams and lotions.
• Non-Irritating: Sorbitol is generally considered safe and non-irritating for most skin types.
