PEG 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate Characteristic
●PEG-150 pentaerythritol tetrastearate has high thickening efficiency and strong compatibility, is suitable for various ionic systems, and does not affect foam performance. It has excellent foam stability and good skin feel.
●It can effectively reduce skin irritation caused by traditional strong surfactants such as SLS, improve the gentleness of the formula, and is especially suitable for baby care and amino acid products.
What is the Function of PEG 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate?
PEG 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate For skin
PEG-150 pentaerythritol tetrastearate, as a gentle emollient, can form a protective film on the skin surface, effectively replenishing lipids, reducing moisture loss, relieving dryness and tightness, enhancing stratum corneum hydration, and keeping the skin smooth and moisturized after washing.
At the same time, it has both thickening and lipid-enriching functions, stabilizing the formula through a three-dimensional hydration network, and using polyethylene glycol segments and ester groups to provide moisturizing and nourishing effects. It effectively reduces degreasing and irritation caused by surfactants, helps maintain and repair the skin barrier, and is a high-quality skin care ingredient.
PEG 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate for Hair
As a highly efficient and multifunctional polymeric ester thickener, PEG-150 pentaerythritol tetrastearate offers multiple significant benefits for hair and shampoo and conditioner formulations.
First, it can effectively increase the viscosity of surfactant systems such as shampoos and conditioners, and even at low addition levels, it can produce a significant thickening effect. Second, it has excellent soothing and anti-irritant effects, which can effectively reduce the potential irritation of surfactant systems such as shampoos to the scalp and eyes, and reduce cell damage caused by surfactants.
In addition, PEG-150 is a safe alternative to diethanolamide, providing similar thickening and foam-stabilizing effects without producing harmful byproducts such as nitrosamines. At the same time, it performs exceptionally well in clear shampoo or clear conditioner systems, being more stable and reliable than traditional salt thickeners, which helps formulators develop gentle, rheology-balanced, and DEA-free global high-efficiency hair care products.
PEG 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate In Skin Care & Personal Care
PEG-150 pentaerythritol tetrastearate is a synthetic polymer widely used in personal care products, primarily as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer in skincare and cosmetics. It helps blend oily and watery ingredients, preventing product separation, while increasing viscosity and smoothness, making the texture easier to apply. Commonly found in creams, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners, it is gentle on the skin, providing good moisturizing and lubricating effects. The generally recommended addition level in formulations is 0.5%–2.0%.
Is PEG 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate Safe？
According to the safety assessment data of the Cosmetic Ingredient Evaluation Expert Group, PEG-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate is considered safe under current cosmetic use practices and concentrations (up to 5%). Because of its large molecular weight, this ingredient is extremely difficult to penetrate the skin.
Furthermore, existing toxicological data and low usage concentrations indicate that even if trace amounts are absorbed through the skin, it is unlikely to cause systemic toxicity. In addition, the HRIPT test results for the undiluted prototype of this raw material were negative, which fully confirms that it has no risk of skin irritation or sensitization.
