Pentaerythrityl denotes the tetravalent alcohol pentaerythritol (also called pentaerythritol), which is quadruple-esterified in pentaerythrityl tetrapelargonate with pelargonic acid: CH3(CH2)x7COOH. The prefix "penta" indicates the 5 carbon atoms of the molecule. Pentaerythrityl tetrapelargonate ("pelargonate" refers to the ester of pelargonic acid) is used in cosmetic formulations. The tetraester acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple).
