Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate

Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate is a synthetic ester derived from pentaerythritol and isostearic acid. It functions as an emollient, providing a smooth feel and helping to prevent moisture loss from the skin. This ingredient also acts as a thickener and binder in cosmetic formulations, improving product texture and stability.
