– Sold OutBTMC 85 imparts exceptional conditioning, wet-comb, detangling, softening, suspending and emulsification properties to the formulation.
Despite its name, Behentrimonium Chloride is a non-sulfate, derived from rapeseed oil. It is a cationic emulsifier and conditioning ingredient. Prized for its effective detangling abilities, it's able to penetrate the hair shaft making it an excellent moisturizer and conditioner, while remaining gentle on the hair and skin, without coating the scalp or causing buildup.
As it contains no stabilizing additives like cetearyl alcohol, so you'll need to add some of your own in order to create stable emulsions with it.

BTMC 85 Conditioning Emulsifier Palm Free
Amazing product. Although when used in body butters at a 1% usage rate, Im finding a (slight to me) fishy odor. It's possible I heated the oils higher than it's melting point. I did not have these issues in my shampoo bars though!
I haven't tried this yet, but it was shipped in great condition very quickly. I'm so happy to find a palm oil free alternative with a company that is willing to ship to NY.
Perfect for my needs!
I’ve been looking for BTMS80 for months now and finally found it! I was happy that Soap and More shipped to the US ;) Thanks for being one of the only suppliers who stocks this ingredient for the small businesses!
