Behentrimonium Methosulfate (BTMS-50)

Description

Harness the detangling, smoothing power of Behentrimonium Methosulfate (BTMS-50), the plant-derived conditioning emulsifier made from rapeseed (canola) oil and the gold standard for hair conditioners, for your Build-Your-Own ORY^® haircare, conditioning skincare, conditioner bars, and creamy cosmetics. Because damaged hair carries a negative charge, BTMS’s positive charge draws it to the cuticle, where it lays down a thin, substantive film that detangles, reduces friction and breakage, tames frizz, and adds softness and shine. Despite its name, “methosulfate” is not a sulfate surfactant: BTMS is notably mild, biodegradable, and reviewed as safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel. Supplied as pellets with cetyl alcohol and butylene glycol, it forms a complete, self-thickening conditioner base on its own. In your custom rinse-off conditioner, deep mask, leave-in, detangler, or curl cream, it gives every hair type slip, softness, and smooth, frizz-free shine. In your handmade range, it becomes the heart of solid conditioner bars. In skincare, it builds silky body lotions and cream cleansers with a soft, powdery after-feel. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for soft, manageable, healthy-looking hair. Caution: Cationic — cannot be combined with anionic surfactants, glyceryl stearate SE, or carbomer. Not for cold-process soap. May build up on fine hair; clarify periodically. Patch test before first use.
