General Description:
Sorbitol, specifically in its 70% concentration form, is a sugar alcohol derived from glucose. It is a clear, colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting liquid. Sorbitol occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables but is typically produced commercially from corn syrup or glucose. In cosmetics, sorbitol serves various purposes due to its humectant and moisturizing properties.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:

  • Humectant: Sorbitol is primarily used in cosmetics as a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to the skin. It helps maintain hydration by drawing water into the outermost layer of the skin, making it valuable in moisturizers, lotions, and creams.
  • Thickening Agent: In addition to its humectant properties, sorbitol can act as a thickening agent in cosmetic formulations, enhancing the texture and viscosity of products such as gels and creams.
  • Solvent: Sorbitol serves as a solvent to dissolve other ingredients, aiding in the formulation process and ensuring even distribution of active components in products.
  • Skin Conditioning Agent: It helps improve the texture and feel of skin care products, leaving the skin soft, smooth, and moisturized.
  • Stabilizer: Sorbitol can stabilize emulsions, preventing separation of oil and water phases in formulations like lotions and serums.

Hazards and Safety Concerns:
Sorbitol 70% is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, but there are some potential hazards and safety concerns to consider:

  • Skin Irritation: While sorbitol is well-tolerated by most individuals, high concentrations or sensitivity in some individuals can lead to skin irritation, such as redness or itching.
  • Allergic Reactions: Allergic reactions to sorbitol are rare but possible. Individuals with known allergies to sugar alcohols or specific sensitivities should perform a patch test before using products containing sorbitol.
  • Digestive Effects: Ingestion of large amounts of sorbitol can have laxative effects and may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, although this is more relevant for oral products rather than topical cosmetics.
