Overview
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is frequently used as a sugar substitute in food and drinks due to its sweet flavor and its lack of calories.
Chemically, this ingredient is very simple, with four hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a short chain of carbon atoms. These hydroxyl groups are highly water-loving, which means erythritol makes an excellent humectant.
A humectant is a type of moisturizing compound that hydrates the skin through the uptake of water, which is taken from deeper layers of the skin or from the environment.
In addition, erythritol can be used as a flavoring agent because of its sweet flavor.
