Xylitol
Common Name(s): Xylit,birch sugar,xylite
CAS Number: 87-99-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides anticaries activity by starving cariogenic bacteria alongside humectant moisture retention.
Why It's Used: The anticaries sweetener โ xylitol's non-fermentability by s. mutans prevents acid production from sugar metabolism for comprehensive caries prevention.
How It Works: S. mutans transports xylitol into cell via glucose transporter. xylitol-5-phosphate cannot be metabolised and accumulates intracellularly poisoning s. mutans. non-fermentability prevents acid production. stimulates saliva flow for natural remineralisation.
Typically Found In: Toothpaste,mouthwash,sugar-free gum,oral care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ dental anticaries sugar alcohol
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 5%โ30%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from birch or corn cob
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Highly toxic to dogs โ xylitol causes hypoglycemia. safe for humans at typical doses.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Xylitol's toxicity to s. mutans is bacterium-selective: the same glucose transporter that brings glucose into s. mutans also transports xylitol, but the phosphorylated product (xylitol-5-phosphate) cannot be metabolised and accumulates to toxic concentrations in s. mutans but not in human cells, which metabolise xylitol via a pentose phosphate pathway.
