Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol that is naturally derived from dextrose, which comes from gluten-free wheat. This sweet-tasting alcohol metabolizes slowly in the human body and is classified as a nutritive sweetener, providing a significant dose of dietary energy. Sorbitol is comprised of D-mannitol and D-glucitol, both of which are alcohols. It has a mild sweet odor and is available in a white crystalline form. Sorbitol is soluble in both water and alcohol.
In the cosmetic and skincare industry, sorbitol serves as a thickening agent, helping products retain moisture for extended periods. It is commonly used in gels, lotions, moisturizers, creams, and similar formulations. Furthermore, sorbitol is an excellent humectant and can be used as an alternative to glycerin in personal care and skincare products.
