What is sorbitol?

Sorbitol is much like glycerin because it is also considered a humectant. It can also be used as a thickener for skin care products. It is a sugar alcohol that comes from seaweed, fruits, and corn. Most of the time when you see the word sorbitol in ingredients, it most likely has come from corn. That is the most popular way to extract it. Sorbitol is known for preventing the loss of moisture in the skin. It is also 100% completely safe for your skin. That is why we use it in one of our most popular products: the hydrating mask.
