Sorbitol Liquid 70% is a clear, colorless, viscous solution of D-Sorbitol — the most widely used polyol humectant in the world. Produced by catalytic hydrogenation of glucose from non-GMO corn starch, it delivers three-in-one functionality across multiple industries: humectancy, sweetness, and bulk texture — all from a single, cost-effective, ready-to-use liquid ingredient.
With 70% active content and a viscosity comparable to glycerol at a lower cost, sorbitol liquid is the workhorse humectant for toothpaste, cosmetics, confectionery, and pharmaceutical syrups.
| Industry Need | Sorbitol Liquid 70% Solution |
| Cost-effective humectant | 30–40% lower cost than glycerol per active kilogram |
| Non-cariogenic sweetness | Safe for teeth — supports "tooth-friendly" claims |
| Liquid convenience | Pre-dissolved, ready-to-pump — no mixing or heating required |
| Microbial stability | Low water activity; resists microbial growth in formulations |
| Clean taste profile | Neutral sweetness that does not mask flavors or actives |
| Wide regulatory acceptance | USP, BP, EP, FCC compliant; global food/pharma registration |
Sorbitol liquid is the #1 humectant in toothpaste globally, used in over 80% of commercial toothpaste formulations. As a ready-to-pump liquid, it integrates seamlessly into continuous production lines:
Humectancy
Non-cariogenic sweetness
Tooth-friendly certification
Abrasive suspension
Glycerol replacement
Liquid handling
Usage rate: 15–30% of toothpaste formula weight.
As a natural humectant and emollient, sorbitol liquid is widely used in skin care, hair care, and personal care formulations:
Moisture-binding humectant
Skin feel improver
Emulsion stabilizer
Shampoo & conditioner
Shaving products
Bar soap
Natural origin
Usage rate: 1–10% depending on product type.
Sorbitol liquid is a staple ingredient in sugar-free confectionery manufacturing. Its liquid form integrates directly into cooking kettles without pre-dissolution:
Hard candy
Soft candy & chews
Chewing gum
Toffee & caramel
Anti-crystallization
Usage rate: 30–60% of formula weight.
Sorbitol liquid serves as a versatile pharmaceutical excipient in liquid oral dosage forms:
Sweetening vehicle
Thickening agent
Humectant
Cosolvent
Cough syrups
Liquid vitamins
Usage rate: 20–60% of syrup base.

Q: Can sorbitol liquid replace glycerol in my toothpaste formula? A: Yes — partially or fully. Sorbitol liquid 70% provides comparable humectancy at significantly lower cost. Many manufacturers use a 50:50 to 70:30 sorbitol:glycerol blend for the optimal balance of cost and performance.
Q: How do I account for the 30% water in sorbitol liquid 70%? A: Reduce the free water in your formulation by the amount of water contributed by sorbitol liquid. For example, adding 10 kg of sorbitol liquid 70% adds ~3 kg of water — subtract this from your water phase.
Q: Is sorbitol liquid pumpable at room temperature? A: Yes. At ~180 mPa·s at 25°C, it flows easily through standard pumps and hoses. Unlike glycerol (~950 mPa·s), sorbitol liquid does not require pre-warming in cold conditions.
Q: Does sorbitol liquid support "sugar-free" and "tooth-friendly" claims? A: Yes. Sorbitol is non-cariogenic and recognized as safe for teeth by FDI and ADA. It supports "sugar-free" labeling under FDA, EU, and most global regulations.
Q: What is the difference between 70% and 50% sorbitol liquid? A: 70% is the standard industrial concentration — higher active content, lower shipping cost per active kg, better microbial stability. 50% is available for applications requiring lower viscosity or specific water content.
Q: Does sorbitol liquid crystallize during storage? A: At 70% concentration, sorbitol liquid is stable and does not crystallize under normal storage conditions. Store above 15°C and keep containers tightly sealed to prevent evaporation.
Q: What certifications do you provide? A: Non-GMO, Halal, Kosher, ISO 22000, HACCP. USP, BP, EP, and FCC compliant.
Q: Can I get a sample for formula testing? A: Yes. Free samples (1–2 kg). Buyer covers courier; freight collect via DHL/FedEx.
