Sorbitol powder is one of the most widely used sugar alcohols (polyols) in the food and pharmaceutical world, and for good reason: it does three jobs at once. It sweetens (at about 60% of the sweetness of sucrose), it holds moisture in a product so it stays soft and fresh, and it adds body and texture to the finished formulation. Few single ingredients cover that much ground — which is why sorbitol turns up in chewing gum and candy, bakery and beverages, tablets and syrups, toothpaste and cosmetics.
This listing is for a white, crystalline sorbitol powder in a fine 80-120 mesh grade — the free-flowing fraction that blends evenly into dry mixes and tablet blends and dissolves very readily in water (it is only slightly soluble in alcohol). Because the same material is both a food additive (INS 420 / E420) and a pharmaceutical-grade excipient covered by USP, BP, EP and FCC standards, it serves food, oral-care, cosmetic and pharmaceutical buyers from a single specification.
For sourcing and customs documents, the key identifiers are CAS No. 50-70-4, HS Code 29054400, molecular formula C6H14O6 and molecular weight 182.2. Synonyms you will see in tenders, spec sheets and labels — D-Sorbitol, D-Glucitol, Sorbit and Sorbol — all refer to the same product.
Buyers who order this grade are normally looking for a bulk sorbitol powder supplier who can hold a consistent specification across repeat shipments, provide a matching Certificate of Analysis and MSDS, and pack the product for long sea freight. That is exactly what is offered on this page.

Sorbitol powder is a genuinely cross-industry ingredient. The 80-120 mesh fine grade is chosen wherever even dispersion and fast dissolution matter.
Sugar-free confectionery & chewing gum — the single largest use. Sorbitol gives chewing gum its chew, keeps it soft during shelf life, and delivers sweetness without sucrose, so the gum can be labelled sugar-free and tooth-friendly. Also used in sugar-free hard candy, soft candy, gummies, pastilles and lozenges.
Chocolate, coatings & fillings — used in sugar-free chocolate, compound coatings, praline fillings and spreads, where it improves texture and controls crystallisation.
Bakery & biscuits — sugar-free and reduced-sugar biscuits, cookies, cakes and pastries; here sorbitol acts mainly as a humectant, slowing moisture loss so baked goods stay tender for longer.
Beverages & powdered drink mixes — syrups, sugar-free soft drinks, instant drink powders and protein/nutrition powders, as a bulk sweetener and mouthfeel builder.
Dairy, ice cream & frozen desserts — sugar-free and low-calorie ice cream, frozen yogurt and desserts; sorbitol lowers the freezing point and keeps texture smooth and scoopable.
Jams, preserves & sauces — improves body and moisture retention in reduced-sugar formulations.
Pharmaceutical & nutraceutical — as a pharmaceutical excipient: a sweetener, binder/filler and moisture conditioner in tablets, chewable tablets, syrups, suspensions, lozenges, oral gels and sugar-free oral medicines, and in vitamin/effervescent and other nutraceutical dosage forms.
Oral care — the familiar toothpaste and mouthwash ingredient: humectant for the paste, and a non-cariogenic sweetener for the formula.
Cosmetics & personal care — humectant and texture agent in moisturizers, lotions, creams, cleansers, shampoos and other personal-care products.
Industrial & intermediate — a raw material for sorbitan fatty acid esters and other non-ionic surfactants, for polyurethane polyols, and for a range of chemical intermediates.
