For instance, it is used as a humectant and anti-microbial preservative in personal care industry, such as lip care products and moisturizers.

Furthermore, a wide array of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products utilizes xylitol as it helps in preventing ear infections, reducing intraocular pressure, healing wounds, and clearing nasal passageways.
