Pentaerythrityl refers to the alcohol (pentaerythritol, also called pentaerythritol), which forms a diester compound with stearic acid (octadecanoic acid).
The stearic acid diester is used in cosmetic formulations. Pentaerythrityl distearate acts as an emulsifier (a surface-active substance which is used in cosmetic products as an additive to combine two immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - into one emulsion).
