Sorbitol

Sorbitol is a humectant widely used in skincare formulations due to its excellent moisturizing properties. It attracts water to the skin, helping to increase hydration levels and retain moisture. Sorbitol forms a protective barrier on the skin, preventing transepidermal water loss and maintaining a healthy skin barrier function. It has soothing properties, making it beneficial for dry, irritated, and sensitive skin. Sorbitol also acts as a bulking agent in cosmetic formulations, contributing to the texture and consistency of the product. Its hydrating and soothing effects make it suitable for a wide range of skincare products, including moisturizers, serums, cleansers, and masks.
