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.
