Description
Sorbitol 70% Solution
Sorbitol 70% Solution is a natural polyhydric alcohol derived from sugar alcohols in corn. It is a humectant that also stabilizes gels and provides good clarity to cosmetic formulations. It consists primarily D-glucitol & D-mannitol, and is resistant to acids and alkalis. Has highly effective moisturizing properties and has good smoothing and conditioning effects. Helps thickening effects of viscosity enhancers.
This clear liquid is a great humectant and thickener with a refractive index sufficiently high for transparent formulations.
Usage

Storage & Shelf Life
How to keep this ingredient stable batch to batch
Airtight container, room temperature
1 Year
Keep Containers Closed
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Once opened, reseal carefully and keep containers upright to prevent leakage.
Crystallization Is Normal for This Grade
This is the regular (crystallizing) grade of sorbitol, not the non-crystallizing type. If crystals form, gently warm and stir to redissolve before use.
Use Clean Tools
When measuring or transferring product, use clean utensils to prevent cross-contamination. Avoid reaching in with bare hands.
Test Before Scaling
Run a small batch first to confirm clarity and thickening performance in your specific formulation before committing to a full production run.
