Sorbitol Solution 70% (Sorbitol Liquid / D-Glucitol 70%) — a crystal clear, colorless, viscous liquid produced from non-GMO corn starch by catalytic hydrogenation. With 70% dry solids content, it serves as a multifunctional humectant, sweetener, and bulking agent for toothpaste, mouthwash, cosmetics, sugar-free confectionery, and industrial polyol applications. ISO 22000 / HALAL / KOSHER certified. Available in 275kg drum, IBC tote, and flexitank. Free sample.
Sorbitol Solution 70% (CAS 50-70-4, E420) is the most widely used liquid polyol in the global oral care, food, and cosmetic industries. Unlike crystalline sorbitol powder, the 70% solution offers ready-to-use convenience — no dissolution, no dust, no heating required. Simply pump it into your mixing vessel and go.
The liquid is produced by hydrogenating glucose syrup followed by ion-exchange purification and vacuum concentration to precisely 70% dry solids. The result is a water-white, odorless liquid with a clean sweet taste and a smooth syrupy consistency.

The 70% concentration is not arbitrary — it is the thermodynamically stable sweet spot for sorbitol solutions. At this concentration, the solution resists crystallization even at low temperatures while maintaining optimal viscosity for pumping, metering, and mixing. It does not require heated storage or jacketed tanks.
Sorbitol's exceptional water-binding capacity is why it dominates the toothpaste and cosmetics industries:
| Property | Benefit |
| Moisture retention | Prevents toothpaste from drying in the tube over 24+ months |
| Freeze-thaw stability | Maintains paste consistency through temperature cycles |
| Synergy with glycerin | Blends with glycerin at any ratio for cost-optimized humectant systems |
| Non-volatile | Does not evaporate from formulations during processing or storage |
The negative heat of solution (–111 J/g) delivers a characteristic mild cooling sensation — the signature fresh feeling in toothpaste, mouthwash, and sugar-free mints. Unlike menthol, this cooling is purely chemical, leaving no residual taste.

Rule of thumb: If your formula already contains water, use the 70% solution. If your process cannot tolerate additional water, use the powder.

Q: Why is the solution typically 70% and not higher? A: At concentrations above 70%, sorbitol solutions become prone to crystallization at ambient temperatures. At concentrations below 70%, shipping efficiency decreases (you pay to ship more water). 70% is the industry-standard balance of stability, handling, and logistics efficiency.
Q: Can I dilute the 70% solution further for my application? A: Yes. Sorbitol 70% is fully miscible with water at any ratio. Many customers dilute to 50% or lower depending on their formulation requirements.
Q: Does the solution require heated storage? A: No. Store at 15 – 30 °C. If the solution is exposed to temperatures below 10 °C, viscosity increases but returns to normal when warmed — no quality impact. Avoid freezing.
Q: Is Sorbitol 70% solution compatible with glycerin in toothpaste? A: Yes. Sorbitol and glycerin are fully miscible and commonly blended in toothpaste to optimize humectant performance and cost. A typical ratio is 60:40 or 70:30 sorbitol to glycerin.
Q: Does the solution crystallize during ocean freight? A: Under normal shipping conditions, no. The 70% concentration is stable against crystallization. If exposed to extreme cold during transit, viscosity increases temporarily but the solution returns to normal at ambient temperature — no crystallization, no quality loss.
