Skin Benefits
Sorbitol is a humectant that provides deep hydration, giving radiance and softness, which is particularly useful in preventing menopause-related dryness and skin dryness in general. It also helps alleviate the degreasing effects of surfactants.
It retains moisture, helps keep skin hydrated by preventing water loss, makes skin soft and smooth due to its emollient action, stabilizes cosmetic formulations by improving the texture of products, and has a soothing effect.
