Description:
Behentrimonium Methosulphate (BTMS 50) is a gentle, plant-derived conditioning agent made from rapeseed (canola) oil. Despite its name, it is mild and safe for both hair and skin. BTMS 50 acts as both a conditioner and emulsifier, helping to soften hair, reduce tangles, and make combing easier. It is used in creams and lotions to give a smooth, silky texture. This ingredient is highly valued for its ability to deeply condition without leaving a heavy or greasy feel.
Benefits and Uses:
- Deeply conditions hair, making it soft, smooth, and easy to comb.
- Reduces frizz and static for a polished, healthy look.
- Works as an emulsifier, helping to blend oils and water in creams and lotions.
- Improves the spreadability and feel of skin care products.
- Gentle and non-irritating, suitable for sensitive skin and scalp.
- Gives hair a light, silky feel without weighing it down.
BTMS 50 is a popular choice in both professional and home hair care formulations because it delivers excellent conditioning results at low usage levels. It is often used in rinse-off conditioners, leave-in creams, hair masks, and detangling sprays. In skin care, it creates smooth, rich emulsions that absorb well. Its plant-based origin makes it suitable for eco-friendly and natural formulations. The combination of conditioning and emulsifying properties allows formulators to simplify recipes while still achieving luxurious results. It is effective in both cold and warm climates and remains stable in a wide range of pH levels.
