Behentrimonium Methosulfate is both a mild primary emulsifier and an excellent conditioning agent, which provides elegant cationic emulsions for both skin and hair care products. These creams tend to resist wash off, leaving a soft, powdery feel on the skin and imparting excellent detangling properties to hair conditioners. In a hair conditioner, it offers improved wet comb and leaves hair with noticeable body and spring.

Due to its extreme mildness, it is suitable for leave-in conditioners. BTMS-50 can be used as a co-emulsifier with Polawax, adding its conditioning properties to emulsions.

Recommended Usage Rate: 1 – 10%

Appearance: Flakes
Ingredients: Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetyl Alcohol (and) Butylene Glycol

Behentrimonium chloride  is anti static meaning it has the ability to reduce static electricity that can occur between the hair shafts when they move against each other or against fabrics, making behentrimonium chloride effective at  improving the appearance of the hair, giving it shine, improved volume and can also help to visibly improve the appearance of damaged or chemically treated hair.

INCI: Behentrimonium Chloride

Usage rate:0.5-3%
Add to heated oil phase

It stabilizes products, prevents separation, and thickens. Can also be used as a co-emulsifier.

INCI: Cetearyl alcohol
Suggested usage rate: 0.5-25%
