"Sorbityl" means the sugar alcohol sorbitol (sorbitol), "fufural" salts/esters of furfuryl alcohol.

Sorbityl furfural is used in cosmetic formulations. The sorbitol furfural ester acts as an antioxidant (even in low concentrations it prevents or delays the decomposition of active agents and additives in extemporaneous formulations).
