Synthetic
Botanical. Derived from stearic acid (a long-chain fatty acid) and pentaerythritol, a synthetic polyol compound. Synthesized through esterification of stearic acid with pentaerythritol, followed by ethoxylation with polyethylene glycol.
A synthetic polyethylene glycol-based emollient developed for cosmetics in the late 20th century. Created to provide conditioning properties and improved spreadability in modern skincare products.
