Cosmetic Grade Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate CAS 7299-99-2
Products Description
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate is an ester compound commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is produced by the reaction of pentaerythritol and ethylhexanoic acid.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate has excellent solubility in oil substances. For example, it can dissolve well in vegetable oils (such as olive oil, almond oil) and mineral oils. Meanwhile, it also shows certain solubility in organic solvents (such as ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, etc.). However, its solubility in water is extremely low, and this characteristic determines that it is mainly suitable for formulations of oil-phase systems.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate is a versatile skin conditioning agent and emulsifier with good lubricity and substantivity. Its wide application in personal care and cosmetics makes it one of the most important ingredients in modern skin care and cleansing formulations. Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate is often used in high-end skin care and beauty products due to its good skin feel and stability.
Function
- Skin Conditioning Agent: Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate has good skin affinity and can improve the product’s spreadability and usage experience, providing a smooth and moisturizing feel.
- Emulsifier: As an emulsifier, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate can help oil and water mix to form a stable emulsion and is commonly used in skin creams, lotions and cosmetics.
- Thickener: In certain formulations, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate can also act as a thickener to improve the texture of the product.
- Solvent: In some cases, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate can act as a solvent to help dissolve and disperse other ingredients.
Application
- Cosmetics Industry
- In skin care products, such as emulsions, creams, serums, etc., Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate is widely used as an emollient ingredient. Working synergistically with other moisturizing ingredients (such as hyaluronic acid, glycerol, etc.), it can enhance the moisturizing effect of the product. In some relatively thick creams, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate can make the product texture finer and smoother when applied, improving the user's experience.
- In cosmetic products, such as lipsticks, eye shadows, foundations, etc., Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate can be used as a solvent and dispersant. As a solvent, it can dissolve oil-soluble ingredients in cosmetic products, such as pigments and fragrances; as a dispersant, it can ensure the even distribution of pigments, making the cosmetic colors more vivid and uniform and improving the product's stability.
- Personal Care Products Industry
- In products like body washes and shampoos, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate can be added as a moisturizing ingredient. While cleaning the skin and hair, it provides a certain amount of moisture for them, preventing the skin from drying out and the hair from becoming frizzy. In some high-end body washes, when combined with other natural oil ingredients, it can create a moisturizing yet non-greasy bathing experience.
- Pharmaceutical Industry (External Preparations)
- In some external drug preparations such as ointments and creams, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate can be used as a matrix ingredient. It helps the drug to disperse evenly and provides a certain emollient effect, alleviates the irritation of the drug on the skin, and also facilitates the attachment and absorption of the drug on the skin surface.
