About

Pentaerythrityl Tetrapelargonate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Pentaerythrityl tetrapelargonate is the tetraester of pentaerythritol and pelargonic acid (nonanoic acid). Pelargonic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid, and pentaerythritol is a well-established polyol used in food and cosmetics. This ester functions as an emollient and viscosity-increasing agent. It is not listed in EU Annexes II–VI as restricted or prohibited. It is considered low concern for cosmetic use.

Skin benefits

  • Emollient — softens and smooths skin
  • Viscosity-controlling agent improves product texture
  • Non-comedogenic ester profile

Known concerns

  • Not specifically evaluated in EU cosmetics annexes
  • Generally low concern but limited extensive human clinical data
