Sorbitol

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol and occurs naturally in some plants. It appears as a white powder soluble in water and extremely hygroscopic. It manages to preserve the product from dehydration and prevents skin dryness. In cosmetics, sorbitol is a humectant and helps alleviate the degreasing effects of surfactants. It is especially used in toothpaste, but can be introduced in the aqueous phase of shampoo and shower gel and in face creams. At high concentrations, by capturing the water in the formula, it makes it unavailable to any attacks by bacteria, molds and fungi, assisting the activity of the preservative system. It is a safe ingredient at all concentrations of use.
