High-Performance Conditioning Emulsifier for Hair and Skin Care

BTMS 85 (Behentrimonium Methosulfate) is a cationic emulsifier and conditioning agent designed for hair and skin care formulations. Derived from rapeseed oil, it provides excellent conditioning benefits. This ingredient is commonly used in shampoos, conditioners, and creams.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Hair Care – BTMS 85 improves wet combing and adds body and spring to hair. It is especially effective in leave-in conditioners, providing superior detangling and a smooth, manageable feel.
• Skin Care – In creams and lotions, it resists wash-off and leaves skin soft, hydrated, and smooth. It also offers lasting moisturization and enhances texture.
• Emulsification – BTMS 85 can blend up to 50% silicones and functions as a suspending agent. This ensures even ingredient distribution and maintains product stability.
• Superior After-Feel – As a cationic agent, BTMS 85 binds to negatively charged surfaces. It imparts a smooth, conditioned feel to both hair and skin, enhancing shine and manageability.

How It Works

BTMS 85 combines Behentrimonium Methosulfate, a positively charged quaternary ammonium salt, and Cetearyl Alcohol, a fatty alcohol that stabilizes emulsions. The cationic compound deposits conditioning agents on hair and skin, providing softness and shine. The Cetearyl Alcohol improves viscosity, spreadability, and lubricity, making formulations easier to apply.

Formulation Compatibility

BTMS 85 works well with cationic and nonionic surfactants in conditioning systems. It allows formulators to fine-tune the conditioning effects. When combined with Emulsifying Wax NF, it enhances conditioning properties in emulsions.

Usage Recommendations

• Concentration: Use BTMS 85 at 1.0% to 5.0%, depending on hair or skin type.
• pH Stability: It remains stable across a wide pH range. However, avoid excessive anionic surfactants, as they can affect solubility and performance.

BTMS 85 is the perfect ingredient for creating effective, eco-friendly, and high-performance hair and skin care products. It delivers superior emulsifying and conditioning properties, making it essential for luxurious, effective formulations.
