Mannitol

Product Description

Green Stone Swiss supplies cosmetic-grade Mannitol under a direct factory model, with GMP-aligned quality control, batch documentation, and sample support for skincare and powder-formula teams.

Mannitol (D-mannitol; C₆H₁₄O₆; CAS 69-65-8) is a sugar alcohol used as a water-soluble humectant and skin-conditioning agent. CosIng also lists binding and moisturising functions, supporting moisture management in aqueous systems and cohesion in pressed or powdered formats.

It is commonly specified for moisturizers, serums, micellar waters, enzyme cleansing powders, lyophilized ampoules, and compact makeup bases where formulators need a mild, documentable polyol rather than a primary bioactive antioxidant.

• Typical use level: Formulation-dependent; finalize by product type and regional assessment

Formulation Guidelines

Use these notes to dissolve and stabilize Mannitol in aqueous and powder cosmetic systems.

• Suggested Use Level: Formulation-dependent; optimize for humectancy, taste/feel (oral-care if used), and powder integrity
• Addition: Dissolve in the water phase with moderate stirring; add early for full dissolution before thickeners where needed
• pH Range: Compatible with common cosmetic pH systems; verify clarity after cooling and salt/active addition
• Powder Systems: Blend dry with other powders for enzyme cleansers or pressed formats; control humidity during processing
• Compatibility: Generally workable with common humectants and water-soluble actives; screen crystallization risk at high solids
• Combine with Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer for multi-humectant hydration systems pairing polyol moisture binding with polymeric water retention.
