Application of Erythritol in Personal Care Products

Erythritol is widely used in personal care products, mainly based on its moisturizing and mild properties. The following are some common applications:

I. Skin care products.

1. Moisturizer: Erythritol has good moisturizing properties. It can absorb moisture from the air and lock in moisture, prevent skin moisture loss, and keep the skin moist and soft. It can be used as a natural moisturizer in skin care products. When used in combination with other moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, it can enhance the moisturizing effect of skin care products, especially for dry and sensitive skin.

2. As a soothing ingredient: Erythritol has a certain soothing effect, which can relieve skin irritation and reduce skin discomfort. For sensitive skin or skin stimulated by the external environment (such as ultraviolet rays, pollution, etc.), skin care products containing erythritol can help reduce skin redness, itching and other problems, and play a role in soothing the skin.

II. Oral care products.

1. Toothpaste: Erythritol is often used in toothpaste as a sweetener. It not only gives toothpaste a refreshing sweetness and improves the taste of toothpaste, but also has the characteristics of not causing caries. It will not be used by oral bacteria to produce acid like sugars such as sucrose, thereby reducing the risk of caries. At the same time, erythritol also has a certain antibacterial effect, which helps to maintain oral cleanliness and health.

2. Mouthwash: In the mouthwash formula, erythritol can be used as a sweetener and moisturizer. It can make the mouthwash taste better and increase the user's acceptance, while helping to keep the oral mucosa moist and reduce the dryness of the mouth that may be caused by the use of mouthwash. In addition, the antibacterial properties of erythritol also help to enhance the cleaning and sterilization effects of mouthwash.

III. Makeup products.

1. Lipstick: Erythritol can be added to lipstick. On the one hand, it acts as a moisturizer to prevent the lip skin from drying and peeling, and keep the lips moisturized; on the other hand, it can improve the taste and texture of lipstick, making the lipstick smoother when applied, while avoiding the sticky feeling that may be caused by using traditional sugars.

2. Powder blusher, eye shadow, etc.: In some powdered cosmetics such as blusher and eye shadow, erythritol can be used as a filler or auxiliary ingredient. It can improve the fluidity and fineness of the powder, making the product more even and adherent when applied. It can also play a certain moisturizing role, preventing the product from drying out too much, cracking or deteriorating during storage.
