About
Sorbityl vanillinal — a vanillin-sugar conjugate marketed for antioxidant claims. Plausible, but data is thin.
Sorbityl vanillinal is a conjugate of sorbitol and vanillin (or vanillin-derived aldehyde), used as a synthetic antioxidant in cosmetics. Vanillin itself has well-characterised safety, but this specific conjugate has a minimal public dossier and no SCCS opinion. Listed in EU CosIng. Vanillin-family allergy is documented but rare; typical use levels are low (<1%). Evidence level low.
