Pentaerythrityl TetraethylhexanoateBarrier
A light, stable emollient ester that gives smooth slip and helps dissolve UV filters and pigments.
What it does
Pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate is a branched ester of pentaerythritol. It is a light, oxidation-resistant emollient that lends a smooth, dry slip, helps dissolve oil-soluble UV filters, and disperses pigments evenly, which is why it appears often in sunscreens and color products. It is a feel-and-delivery ingredient rather than an active.
