Sorbitol: A Sugar Alcohol That Holds Water
Better known as a sugar substitute, sorbitol has a quieter second career in skincare. It works as a humectant: its hydroxyl groups bind water and hold it in the outermost layer of skin, softening the look of dryness and flaking. It also lends a pleasant, non-sticky slip to cleansers and gels, and it helps keep formulas from drying out in the container.
In this collection it shows up across Revision Skincare's cleansing range — Gentle Foaming Cleanser, Papaya Enzyme Cleanser and Gentle Cleansing Lotion — and in SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced and LHA Cleanser Gel.
Is sorbitol as hydrating as glycerin?
It is a weaker humectant than glycerin gram for gram, which is precisely the point in a cleanser: enough water-binding to leave skin comfortable, without the tackiness a high-glycerin formula can leave behind.
