From here (http://www.vernacularskinworks.com/ingredients.html#peg150 ):

PEG 150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate is a vegetable-derived thickener and light skin conditioner. It lends viscosity to Very Gentle Cleanser. In addition to providing thickness, it also contributes to the cleanser's gentleness, as it has been shown to lower and mitigate the potential for irritation in surfactant (cleansing-agent-based) systems and impart mildness to them.
