Sorbitol is a basic raw material for the production of cosmetics, skin care products, automobile beauty and emulsifiers (spatulas, toluene). Because of its: moisturizing, surface crystallization, emulsification and dispersion, film with the role of microcrystalline and other special properties. It can be used as a wetting agent, moisturizer, emulsifier that prevents skin dryness and stabilizes emulsions and suspensions without irritation. Sorbitol is the most commonly used moisturizing agent in cosmetics, and its hygroscopicity is less than that of glycerin. Because of its cool and refreshing sweet flavor, it is also known as refreshing tea alcohol. Sorbitol improves the cold stability of products and has excellent anti-freezing properties.
