Erythritol
Ingredient Info
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol derived from natural sources that functions as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent in skincare products. It helps draw moisture into the skin and has been safely used in cosmetics for over 50 years.
Benefits
- Humectant that helps skin retain moisture
- Gentle alternative to sugar for hydration without spiking blood glucose
- Well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin
Science: Erythritol is endogenously produced in the human body and has minimal effects on plasma glucose and insulin levels. Current cardiovascular research does not link erythritol to significant health risks, with large intravenous studies and genetic analyses showing a favorable safety profile.
