PENTAERYTHRITOL DISTEARATE
PENTAERYTHRITOL DISTEARATE
Pentaerythritol distearate is a versatile emulsifier and texturizer used in cosmetics to enhance product viscosity and stability, providing a smooth and non-waxy feel on the skin.
As a non-ionic surfactant, Pentaerythritol distearate effectively blends oil and water, prevents separation, and maintains moisture levels.
Pentaerythritol distearate is particularly valued in formulations for body care, face care, and sensitive skin due to its emollient properties and ability to avoid the white residue often associated with other waxes or fatty alcohols.

Pentaerythritol distearate is a consistency wax with additional sensorial benefit.
Pentaerythritol distearate helps create a texture (texturizer) that gives it a viscous consistency.
with any formula that contains oil as an ingredient Gives a good texture to the skin.
Pentaerythritol distearate is popularly used in place of Wax or Fatty Alcohol (such as Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol) of any kind because Pentaerythritol distearate gives a better texture.
And does not cause whiteness on the skin when applied.
Pentaerythritol distearate is a chemical compound formed by the esterification (reaction of an acid with an alcohol) of pentaerythritol with stearic acid, a long-chain fatty acid.
Pentaerythritol distearate is used as an emulsifier and softener in skin care products.
Thanks to its emollient properties, pentaerythritol distearate helps prevent water loss and softens the skin, giving it a healthy, moist appearance.

Pentaerythritol Distearate, a polyol ester, functions as a versatile compound with surfactant properties.
Being a non-ionic surfactant, Pentaerythritol distearate serves as an effective emulsifier, surfactant, and humectant.
Pentaerythritol distearate’s surfactant characteristic facilitates the reduction of surface tension in liquids, promoting enhanced mixing capabilities.
Acting as an emulsifier, Pentaerythritol distearate aids in preventing the separation of two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water.
Additionally, as a humectant, Pentaerythritol distearate plays a vital role in retaining moisture within a formulation.
Pentaerythritol distearate builds up good viscosity and stability of o/w emulsion with different emulsifier systems (ionic/non-ionic), while at the same time creating a non-waxy and caring skin feel.

Pentaerythritol distearate is salts or di-esters of stearic acid (octadecanoic acid).
Pentaerythrityl distearate is a chemical compound formed through the esterification (reacting an acid with an alcohol) of pentaerythritol with stearic acid, a long-chain fatty acid.
In skin care preparations, Pentaerythritol distearate serves as a formula emulsifier and emollient.
Due to its emollient nature, pentaerythrityl distearate helps prevent water loss and softens skin, allowing it to maintain a healthy, hydrated look.
Pentaerythrityl distearate is best used as a part of a well-rounded skin care routine that contains other skin-replenishing and skin-restoring ingredients.
In Pentaerythritol distearate’s raw material form, this emulsifying agent is an off-white wax-like substance.
Uses of Pentaerythritol Distearate:
