Paester™ PETC
Paester™ PETC is a pentaerythritol tetraester with a melting point near body temperature that provides a smooth, comfortable skin feel and helps form a protective surface barrier. It can improve the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness. With a texture similar to shea butter and improved oxidation stability, Paester™ PETC can also serve as a shea butter alternative and help soften solid cosmetic products. Paester™ PETC is available in both standard and RSPO-certified (/MB) grades.

Paester™ AB
Paester™ AB is a fast-spreading, non-sticky emollient ester for skin care, sun care and color cosmetics. Its strong solvency and wetting performance helps disperse UV filters and other oil-insoluble powders, making it particularly useful in sunscreen and foundation formulations. Low in odor and well suited to sensitive-skin and baby-care formulations, Paester™ AB is compatible with silicone oils and other lipophilic ingredients and can help reduce tackiness and whitening in the finished product.
Paester™ BDP-2S
Paester™ BDP-2S is a multifunctional, non-animal-derived alternative to lanolin for skin care, baby care, lip products and sun care. This semisolid emollient provides high water-binding capacity, good skin adhesion and film-forming properties to create rich, substantive formulations with improved water resistance. Compared with lanolin, Paester™ BDP-2S is virtually odorless and non-occlusive while delivering a rich, protective emollient feel. Paester™ BDP-2S is available in both standard and RSPO-certified (/MB) grades.
Paester™ BGCC

Paester™ BGCC can also help reduce the heavy, oily or sticky feel of formulations. Paester™ BGCC is available in both standard and RSPO-certified (/MB) grades.
Paester™ BS
