Can we use mouthwash/products containing sorbitol alcohol, which is naturally occurring?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
I have read the rulings posted on this site regarding the use of mouthwash which contains alcohol.

However my question is with regards to mouthwash / products which contain sorbitol alcohol. I have done some research and it seems this is naturally occuring. Are we allowed to use such a product? I include links to info about sorbitol alcohol, I hope you are able to give a ruling accordingly.
