Namely
Used since the 1960s, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSH) are a family of sweeter sweeteners than sugar, widely used in food in confectionery for example. They are produced by the partial hydrolysis of corn starch, wheat or potato. In practice, this rather generic name is used to designate any extended group of polyols (sugar alcohols).
They are used in cosmetics as humectant: that is to say they retain water in the products and allow the pasta not to crystallize over time.
