Sorbitol Solution 70%

Sorbitol solution 70% is a clear, viscous, sweet-tasting liquid that is 70% sorbitol and 30% water.

It is used as a sweetener, humectant, and stabiliser in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. It helps products retain moisture, improves texture, and can act as a preservative at higher concentrations.

Properties and uses

Sweetener: Provides a sweet taste, often with fewer calories than sugar.
Humectant: Attracts and retains moisture, which is why it is used to keep skin, hair, and food products from drying out.
Texturizer/Thickener: Adds body and thickness to formulations like lotions, soaps, and toothpaste.
Stabilizer: Helps keep products stable and prevents crystallization.
Preservative: At higher concentrations, it can suppress microbial growth.

Common applications

Food: Candy, baked goods, and frozen desserts
Cosmetics: Lotions, shampoos, toothpaste, and aftershave gels
Pharmaceuticals: As a laxative or in oral solutions
