DESCRIPTION

Complete technical data sheet: Sorbitol (Polyhydric Sugar Alcohol)

  • INCI name: Sorbitol ● Description: sorbitol is a sugar alcohol (polyol) found naturally in many fruits and plants. It is used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products as a humectant, sweetener, thickening agent and emollient. Because of its ability to attract and retain moisture, it is ideal for moisturizing and stabilizing formulations.
Benefits and properties
  • Humectant: helps retain moisture in skin and hair, keeping them hydrated. ● Stabilizer: improves emulsion stability and prevents phase separation. ● Thickener: increases the viscosity of liquids and gels. ● Emollient: softens and conditions the skin, leaving it smooth and supple. ● Sweetener: used in oral care products and foods for its sweet taste.
Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Recommended concentration
  • In cosmetic products: 1–10 %, depending on the product type and desired effect. ○ Creams and lotions: 3–5 %. ○ Shampoos and conditioners: 1–3 %.
○ Oral care products: 5–10%.
How to use and incorporate: How to use: 1. Water phase: incorporated into the water phase of cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. Can be added cold or hot, depending on the product type. 2. Blending: stir well to ensure even distribution and prevent crystallization.
Formulation tips:
  • Combine with emollients or occlusives to reduce water loss and balance the skin feel.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility:
  • Compatibility with other ingredients: compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, including emollients, surfactants, preservatives and other humectants. ● Solubility: highly soluble in water, making it easy to incorporate into aqueous formulations.
Storage: Conditions: store in a cool, dry place protected from direct light and heat sources. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption. ● Stability: stable under normal storage conditions. The solid form should be kept in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption. ●
Precautions: Low-hazard product. Avoid contact with eyes.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
