BTMC 85 Conditioning Emulsifier Palm Free

BTMC 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.
