Caution
Behentrimonium Methosulfate/Cetyl Alcohol/1,3- Butylene Glycol or BTMS 50 is a vegetable-based conditioning emulsifier. Since it is cationic (positively charged), it is extremely conditioning and adsorbs (creates a very fine coating) on skin and hair, providing an incredible finish that is only possible with cationic ingredients.
Behentrimonium Methosulfate 50 is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from rapeseed oil by synthetically modifying it. It is soluble in oil and ethanol and is insoluble in water. It is eco-friendly and extremely mild and when used in formulations, it leaves hair tangle-free, feeling silky smooth and makes skin feel softer and powdery after use in skin products such as lotions and creams. B.T.M.S. 50 is compatible with both cationic and nonionic surfactants.
