About
Ditrimethylolpropane Tetraisostearate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Ditrimethylolpropane tetraisostearate is a tetra-ester formed from ditrimethylolpropane (a pentaerythritol derivative) and four molecules of isostearic acid. It functions as a thickener, emollient, and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. Not listed in EU restriction annexes. Isostearic acid is a well-established fatty acid with a favourable safety profile, and polymerized pentaerythritol derivatives are low risk.
