Sorbitol, identified by CAS number 50-70-4, is a ubiquitous ingredient in various industries, from cosmetics to food and pharmaceuticals. Its unique chemical structure as a hexitol, or sugar alcohol, bestows upon it properties that make it highly sought after. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides comprehensive information and high-quality Sorbitol to meet diverse industrial requirements.

Chemically, Sorbitol is a polyol, meaning it contains multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups. These groups are responsible for its excellent water solubility and its hygroscopic nature – its ability to attract and retain moisture. This property is fundamental to its function as a humectant, a key characteristic that makes it invaluable in cosmetic formulations to hydrate the skin and hair. Its syrupy liquid form, often described as colorless, is the most common presentation for cosmetic and food applications.

The applications of Sorbitol are remarkably broad. In cosmetics, it serves as a humectant, a moisturizer, and a thickener, enhancing the texture and efficacy of creams, lotions, and serums. Its mildness and skin-conditioning effects are highly valued. In the food industry, it acts as a sweetener, a bulking agent, and a humectant, improving shelf life and palatability, particularly in sugar-free or low-calorie products. Its non-cariogenic property also makes it a preferred ingredient in oral care products like toothpaste.

When considering the practical aspects of using Sorbitol, understanding its properties is essential. While generally stable, its hygroscopic nature means it should be stored in well-sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption. For formulators, its solubility in water makes it easy to incorporate into aqueous phases. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that the Sorbitol supplied adheres to purity standards, providing formulators with confidence in their end products.
