They provide moisture, dissolve active ingredients, and protect the product from drying out. In surfactant formulations, they mitigate skin irritation and \u003cstrong\u003ereduce the aggressiveness of the surfactants\u003c\/strong\u003e. In dental care products, they also serve as sweeteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXylitol, also known as wood sugar alcohol, is a sugar alcohol obtained from birch and beech bark. It is produced by the hydrogenation of xylose (wood sugar) contained in the fibers of the bark and has about 40% fewer calories than sugar. Furthermore, it does not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, which makes it popular among \u003cstrong\u003ediabetics\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as \u003cstrong\u003efructose-intolerant individuals\u003c\/strong\u003e. Industrially, it is used as a low-calorie sweetener in products such as chewing gum, candies, and sugar-free confectionery, which also contribute to dental care. It has also long been used in the home as a \u003cstrong\u003esugar alternative for sweetening\u003c\/strong\u003e and baking. However, it should be noted that it can have a laxative effect if consumed in excess or in cases of intolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn dental care products, xylitol is used for its sweet taste, but at a concentration of 30% or more, it also possesses \u003cstrong\u003epreservative properties\u003c\/strong\u003e due to its \u003cstrong\u003ewater-binding effect\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is particularly valued, however, for its growth-inhibiting effect on \u003cstrong\u003ecaries-causing bacteria\u003c\/strong\u003e, as these cannot use xylitol as an energy source. Furthermore, xylitol stimulates saliva flow, which contributes to the \u003cstrong\u003eremineralization of the teeth\u003c\/strong\u003e and reduces the risk of dental disease. It is also interesting that xylitol has a \u003cstrong\u003ecooling effect in the mouth\u003c\/strong\u003e because it absorbs heat from its surroundings when it dissolves. This process is called endothermy and causes the temperature on the tongue to drop, which creates the cooling sensation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXylitol can also be used as a \u003cstrong\u003ehumectant\u003c\/strong\u003e in skin care products, as it acts similarly to glycerin. It helps the skin retain moisture and prevents it from being released too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended concentration and processing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e2 - 5% in skin care products\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eup to 80% in dental care products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eadd to the water phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eexcellent moisturizer\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eserves as a sweetener and \"preservative\" in dental care products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003emitigates skin irritation from surfactants\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eprotects the product from drying out\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ecan be combined with other humectants\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003efor sweetening, cooking, and baking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Innometics","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":48812215435596,"sku":"HUM006-100","price":6.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":48812215468364,"sku":"HUM006-250","price":7.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1,000 g","offer_id":48812215566668,"sku":"HUM006-1000","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5,000 g","offer_id":48812215599436,"sku":"HUM006-5000","price":115.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/6111\/0196\/files\/innometics-xylit.jpg?v=1727937121","url":"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/en\/products\/xylit","provider":"INNOMETICS GmbH- Naturkosmetik Rohstoffe \u0026 Know how","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
