xylitol ingredient question
Did anyone used xylitol for viscosity increasing purpose? How much do I need to add to see increase in viscosity?

Sounds pretty sweet (sorry couldn’t resist)

I have used it at amounts up to 4% and haven’t noticed any noticeable increases in viscosity other than a slight ‘thickened’ feel to the serum (which occurs at 1% concentration). It feels quite nice on the skin, though! Also, formulation searches show usage of a traditional thickener like a carbomer or cellulose even when xylitol is present.

Xylitol can offer some interesting skincare effects. For instance: there are some studies showing it can be very useful for who has atopic dermatitis. It can be a great ingredient in cosmetics for sensitive skin.
