Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate CAS 62125-22-8
With its superior adhesion and sealing properties, it delivers enhanced waterproof performance and film formation, making it particularly well-suited for sunscreen products and makeup formulations. Despite its thick texture, it does not leave a greasy residue but instead soothes and nourishes the skin tissue, making it beneficial for mature skin maintenance. When incorporated into shampoo formulas, it has negligible impact on system viscosity, foam generation or stability; furthermore, long-term storage does not compromise its viscosity. This ingredient enhances hair moisture levels and smoothness without imparting any greasiness post-use.
Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate is a high molecular weight liquid oil with the chemical formula C77H148O8 and a molecular weight of 1201.99. It exhibits insolubility in water, as well as a fresh, non-greasy texture, providing both hair and skin with a smooth and moisturized feel in personal care products.
Origin
It is derived from isostearic acid, a type of fatty acid.
Features
1. Excellent emollient, soluble in various oil esters, can improve the sense of moisture and smoothness of hair, not greasy after use. Its unique molecular structure makes it very breathable in skin care products.
2. Acting as an emollient, it fills in skin gaps to create a protective barrier that shields against external factors while minimizing moisture loss. Increased hydration leads to enhanced integrity of the epidermal layer, promoting proper cell shape and strength.
3. Conditions the skin for increased softness and hydration.
4. When added within recommended amounts to shampoo formulas, it has minimal impact on viscosity, foam formation, and system stability; long-term storage does not result in viscosity reduction.
