Cosmetic PEG – 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate CAS 130249-48-8
Products Description
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate is a synthetic polymer used primarily in cosmetics and personal care products as an emulsifier, thickener, and skin conditioner. It is a combination of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and pentaerythrityl tetrastearate.
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate has certain hydrophilicity due to the polyethylene glycol part. It can form a certain dispersion system in water and also has good solubility in some polar organic solvents. However, due to the presence of the stearate part, its solubility in non-polar organic solvents is relatively weak.
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate is a versatile emulsifier and thickener 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. Due to its good skin feel and stability, PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate is often used in high-end skin care and beauty products.
Function
- Emulsifier: As an emulsifier, PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate can help oil and water phases mix to form a stable emulsion. It is commonly used in skin creams, lotions and cosmetics.
- Thickener: PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate can increase the viscosity of the product, improving the texture and feel of the product.
- Skin Conditioning Agent: PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate has good skin affinity, can improve the product’s spreadability and usage experience, and provide a smooth and moisturizing feel.
- Stabilizer: In certain formulations, PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate can act as a stabilizer to help maintain product uniformity and stability.
Application
- Cosmetics Field
Emulsifier: PEG - 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate is used as an emulsifier in skin care products such as emulsions and creams. It can help mix the oil phase and the water phase evenly, form a stable emulsion structure, prevent the emulsion from separating, and make the product have good texture and stability.
Thickener and Stabilizer: PEG - 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate can increase the viscosity of the product and make cosmetics have better rheological properties. For example, in some gel-like skin care products, it can help maintain the shape and texture of the product and improve the product's stability.
- Other Field
In some industrial applications, such as plastic processing or the paint industry, PEG - 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate can be used as a lubricant or plasticizer. It can improve the processing performance of materials, make the material surface smoother, and to some extent increase the flexibility of materials.
