Global Humectants Market: Overview

Rise in the use of synthetic humectants

Synthetic humectants are increasingly being used in beauty and personal care products, including hair conditioners, lip balms, and some soaps. Synthetic humectants are made of glycerine, urea, butylene glycol, sodium lactate, and sorbitol. Factors such as low cost of production and longer shelf life have increased their use in beauty and personal care products. Synthetic humectants are also used as anti-caking agents to prevent the formation of lumps and to help the food products flow freely.

Increasing demand for humectants in the pharmaceutical industry

Humectants are generally used in the pharmaceutical industry to maintain the moisture content in medicines and increase their shelf-life. For instance, sorbitol is used in emulsion ointments, in gelatin capsules, and used medically in culture mediums to differentiate various strains of bacteria such as E. coli. Similarly, glycerin is used in medicines due to its smoothness and lubricating properties. The growing demand for humectants in pharmaceutical products will have a positive impact on the growth of the global humectants market size.
