Xylitol Extra Pure is a high-purity sugar alcohol widely used as a low-calorie sweetener and pharmaceutical excipient. It is a white crystalline powder that is odorless and highly soluble in water. Due to its non-cariogenic and humectant properties, xylitol is extensively used in dental care products, cosmetics, and food formulations, especially sugar-free products. In laboratories, it serves as an analytical standard and stabilizer. Xylitol is non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for various applications but should be handled with standard precautions to avoid dust inhalation. Proper storage in airtight containers protects it from moisture absorption and degradation.
Xylitol Extra Pure
