1,3 propanediol alternatives
Have a client that want no glycerin, no PG, no BG, and no 1,3 propanediol… would sorbitol be a suitable replacement? Any suggestions. This is suppose to go into an all natural or close to natural line of topical products.

I guess it depends on what you’re adding it for but as a humectant Sorbitol should work.

I wanted as a humectant and to give similar slip feel to a lotion, cream and personal lube product.
-
Sorbitol is very sticky.

@Bobzchemist do you have any suggestions? I was thinking about do a 70% soln of xylitol.
-
Try an aqueous solution of D Panthenol.
-
Like a 5% aqueous soln of D Panthenol?
-
That will work but highly effective humectant so a 5% stock solution can be diluted in final product as low as 1%( active).Also you can use a 1% solution of hyaluronic acid wihch is available commercially also highly effective at 0.05 to 0.1%.

Wowzers!If I was using this in as a personal lubricant could I use either at minimum 30% in final product? I am very interested in the hyaluronic acid and its use on mucosa tissue.

Can you use Caprylic.capric triglyceride in your lotion and cream? That will give you slip.
