About Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate

Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate is the tetraester of pentaerythritol and stearic acid.[1] The moisturizing feel and spreadability of finished products containing it may vary depending on the use level and combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and to adjust the viscosity and flow of formulations.[2]
