Dipentaerythrityl hexahydroxystearate/rosinate is a mixture of different fatty acid esters (stearic acid/fatty acid mixtures derived from rosin) which is used in cosmetic formulations. The mixture acts as an emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together). Furthermore it has a smoothing effect on the skin surface.
