Descrizione
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol used in cosmetics mostly as a humectant, meaning it helps attract and hold water. In skincare, it’s best known as part of the moisturizing trio Aquaxyl, where it works alongside related sugars to support the skin’s water balance. By helping reduce moisture loss and improve hydration, xylitol can make skin feel softer, smoother, and more comfortable, especially when it’s dry or tight.
It’s also used in hair care, where it can help boost the feel of hydration and leave strands looking less rough or brittle. People with dry, dehydrated, or barrier-stressed skin may especially appreciate it, and it’s often a nice fit in lightweight moisturizers, serums, cleansers, and conditioners. Because xylitol is generally used as a supporting ingredient rather than a star active, its benefits are usually subtle but useful. As with any ingredient, individual tolerance can vary, so if a product stings or irritates your skin, it’s best to stop using it.
