Description
Pentaerythrityl Distearate is an ether of pentaerythritol and stearic acid, which is an important ingredient due to its emulsifying, stabilizing, and texturizing properties. Why is it added to cosmetics? 1. Emulsifier: helps to mix water and oils, creating homogeneous and stable emulsions. 2. Stabilizer: prevents separation and settling of sediment in cosmetic formulas. This ensures long-term stability and effectiveness of the products. 3. Texture improvement: adds softness and silkiness to the product, enhancing its sensory properties. It provides a pleasant feeling upon application and facilitates distribution on the skin. 4. Viscosity enhancement: provides thickness and stability to the products. 5. Moisturizing effect: helps to retain moisture in the skin, preventing its loss.
