About this ingredient

Erythritol is a four-carbon sugar alcohol (polyol) derived from fermentation or glucose conversion, commonly used in cosmetics as a humectant and sweetener. It absorbs and retains moisture in the skin, improving hydration and providing a smooth texture. It also has minimal glycemic impact and is well-tolerated by sensitive skin types.
