Safety Profile

Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not formally assessed Hydroxyethyl Sorbitol for safety. Information regarding its GHS classification, specific hazard statements, precautionary measures, and various toxicity endpoints (oral, parenteral, dermal, inhalation) is either reported as 'None found' or 'Not determined' in available literature. It is imperative to distinguish this compound from Sorbitol, which has been extensively reviewed by the CIR and affirmed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for human consumption; however, this safety profile does not directly extend to its hydroxyethylated derivative.
