Additional Info:
Sorbitol is widely used in cosmetics to improve hydration, transparency, and texture. It also helps reduce the greasy feel in lotions and other emulsions. It is GRAS-certified by the FDA and approved for cosmetic use in many countries including Australia, Canada, Japan, and the EU. Sorbitol is thermally stable and does not participate in Maillard (browning) reactions, making it suitable for heat-processed products.
