Sorbitol 70% is a versatile sugar alcohol primarily used as a humectant, sweetener, and bulking agent. Its unique ability to retain moisture and provide a pleasant cooling sensation makes it an essential ingredient in the production of sugar-free confectionery, oral care products, and pharmaceutical syrups.

Why It Should Be Preferred?

• High Efficiency Humectant: Maintains consistent moisture levels, preventing the "drying out" effect in pastes, creams, and food items.

• Non-Cariogenic Sweetener: Does not promote tooth decay, making it the industry standard for sugar-free chewing gums and toothpastes.

• Caloric Reduction: Provides a bulk and sweet taste similar to sugar but with significantly fewer calories, catering to health-conscious markets.

• Texture Stabilizer: Acts as a crystallization inhibitor, ensuring a smooth, velvety texture in fillings and liquid formulations.

• Safe & Versatile: Recognized globally as a safe food additive (E420) with wide applications in pharmaceutical and technical grades.

Areas of Usage

• Confectionery: Essential for sugar-free gums, mints, and hard candies.

• Oral Care: Primary humectant in toothpastes to maintain paste consistency and flavor stability.

• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a base for sugar-free liquid medicines and as a plasticizer for softgel capsules.

• Cosmetics: Found in moisturizing lotions, foundations, and aftershave balms for its skin-soothing properties.

• Industrial: Used in the production of surfactants and as a polyol in polyurethane manufacturing.
