  • Applications

    Decaglyceryl pentastearate, CAS 95461-64-6, is used primarily in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient, conditioning agent, and thickener, improving slip, texture, and stability in creams, lotions, and lip products. It also serves as a waxy processing aid and lubricant in polymer systems, supporting molding and flow in waxes and elastomers. In coatings and inks, it can function as a wax-like additive to improve gloss, adjust rheology, and reduce blocking. In household products, it acts as a conditioning and texture-enhancing component in wax-based cleaners and surface care formulations. In pharmaceutical topical formulations, it can serve as an excipient or carrier to improve application properties and spreadability. Overall, it is a stable ester with emollient and texture-modifying roles across these industries.
