Fungal-acne trigger
The details
Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate is a synthetic emollient and "skin-feel" ingredient that spreads well and leaves a non-sticky finish with high gloss. In makeup, it also doubles as a pigment-wetting agent for better color payoff. It's a well-vetted ingredient for safety and does not penetrate into skin due to its large molecule size. Because it's a long-chain fatty acid ester, this ingredient may not be fungal acne or Malassezia safe.
