Tales from Nature
Sorbitol is a plant-derived alcohol naturally occurring in several botanical species. Due to its high hygroscopicity, it acts as a formidable water reservoir both within the cosmetic product and on the skin surface.
Its ability to retain moisture ensures the perfect stability of formulas and provides constant protection for tissues, keeping the product fresh and active over time.
Benefits Skin
Employed in facial cleansers and intimate hygiene products, Sorbitol provides deep hydration that gives instant radiance and softness. It is particularly valuable in counteracting skin dryness related to physiological or environmental changes while maintaining tissue elasticity.
Its emollient action softens the activity of surfactants, preserving the integrity of the hydrolipidic film and promoting a smooth, compact and radiant complexion.
Within the Stamigen line and sun products shampoos, Sorbitol works as an intensive fiber moisturizer. It retains moisture within the stem, protecting it during exposure to sun, salt spray and frequent washing.
