Sorbitol Overview

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that acts as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in the skin.

Clinical Evidence

Reviving the Skin From Within

Sorbitol is included in formulations aimed at enhancing skin quality. A study demonstrated its efficacy when combined with high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, showing significant improvements in skin elasticity and recovery after treatment. For more details, see Reviving the Skin From Within: Mechanistic Insights Into a Well‐Tolerated Dermal Filler—CPM‐HA20G.

Efficacy and Safety of a Stabilized Composition

Another study highlighted the safety and effectiveness of a formulation containing sorbitol, which improved skin biomechanical properties. This supports its use in aesthetic applications. For further information, refer to Efficacy and Safety of a Stabilized Composition of 26 mg/mL of High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid for Aesthetic Applications.

Soft, Skin-Conformal Electronic Interfaces

Sorbitol's hygroscopic properties contribute to the development of advanced skin-electrode interfaces, enhancing hydration stability and performance in biosignal monitoring.
