detangling effect on hair.
What is BTMS 50?
BTMS 50 is a positively
charged cationic emulsifying wax. Because it's cationic, it's also
"conditioning"—it adsorbs (forms a very fine coating) on skin and
hair, giving it a beautiful sheen that's only found in cationic substances. It
includes Behentrimonium Methosulfate, which accounts for half of the active
components.
Why We Use
It gives our products a
luscious, beautiful skin feel, and it leaves hair feeling gorgeous—easy to comb
through and velvety smooth. It also works as a full-fledged emulsifying wax.
Yes, if
you're looking to manufacture hair care items. It's also great in lotions as emulsifier
cosmetics and as a conditioning ingredient in body butters and balms!
Tips & Trick
I've found that BTMS 50 may be a little recalcitrant when it comes to melting in a water bath, so you may need to give your hot oil phase a fast microwave blast to get it to totally melt.
BTMS 50 has a long shelf life if kept cold, dark and dry
