  No, you could get a lot more complicated and expensive if you wish. How about Glucam E-20, or sorbitol?

  Sorbitol is good if you can get it.

  IMO it’s a bit hard to get cosmetic-grade sorbitol, but food-grades made by top companies are really good.

  I personally liked Erythritol better than Glycerin or Sorbitol
  better an emollient, yet not as sticky.
