Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that is commonly used in skincare products as a humectant and moisturizer. It can attract and hold moisture, making it an ideal ingredient for keeping the skin hydrated and smooth. Sorbitol is also used as a thickening agent and stabilizer in various skincare formulations, contributing to the texture and consistency of products.

Where does it come from?

Sorbitol is naturally found in a variety of fruits, such as apples, pears, peaches, and plums, as well as in certain vegetables. The hydrogenation process converts the glucose into Sorbitol, creating a water-soluble compound that is widely used in both food and cosmetic products.

  • Non-Irritating: Sorbitol is gentle on the skin and suitable for use in products for sensitive skin, providing moisture without irritating.
