BTMS-50 (Behentrimonium Methosulfate 50%) Beads, is a behenyl (C22) Cationic quaternary ammonium salt conditioning emulsifier. It is a high-performance, cationic self-emulsifying wax designed for creating luxurious, silky-smooth hair and skincare products. This 50% active conditioning agent is the go-to choice for formulators seeking professional-grade, rinse-off, or leave-on products without the solvent butylene glycol.
Why Choose This Version?
While many BTMS-50 products contain butylene glycol, this version uses a different carrier, making it a better alternative for cleaner, more natural-focused, or sensitive-skin formulations, while still maintaining that sought-after 50% active, high-conditioning performance.
Key Features & Benefits
Superior Conditioning & Detangling: The primary benefit of BTMS-50 lies in its powerful detangling properties. As a cationic ingredient, it binds to the hair shaft (which is negatively charged), smoothing the cuticle, reducing static, and making hair instantly manageable, soft, and silky.
Offers stronger conditioning and detangling than BTMS-25, leaving hair, skin, and beards silky and manageable.
Luxurious Emulsification: Effectively binds oils and water together to create rich, stable, and elegant lotions, creams, and conditioners with an incredible skin feel.
Butylene Glycol-Free Formula: Sourced with a preference for a non-glycol diluent (often a blend of cetearyl alcohol/stearyl alcohol), this offering appeals to customers seeking to avoid specific glycols in their formulations.
Cationic (Positive) Charge: Delivers substantive conditioning benefits to both hair and skin that resist rinsing off, providing long-lasting moisturization and protection.
Versatile Application: Ideal for creating everything from hair conditioners and hair masks to deep conditioning body lotions and creams.
Easy to Use: Presented in a convenient bead form for easy weighing and melting into the oil phase of your formulations.
