Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol that the human body metabolizes slowly. It is commonly used as a sugar substitute in diet drinks, ice cream, mints, cough syrups, and sugar-free chewing gum. Sorbitol is a nutritive sweetener, providing 2.6 food calories per gram compared to 4 calories for typical carbohydrates. In cosmetics, sorbitol serves as a sweetener, thickener, humectant, and conditioning agent, preventing moisture loss from the skin and hair.
