BTMS-50 Conditioning Emulsifier - Behentrimonium Methosulfate or BTMS is a vegetable based conditioning emulsifier. It can be used to emulsify lotions and scrubs but is more commonly used to make hair conditioners. The recommended usage rate is 1 – 15% though we find that much more than 6% in our hair conditioner recipes is overkill. This emulsifying system contains a large percentage of conditioning agents, making it appropriate for leave-on conditioning treatments as well as traditional rinse off hair care. This product contains no hazardous solvents and comes in an easy-to-work-with white pastille.

Behentrimonium Methosulfate is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from the natural plant oil Colza, or what is commonly known as Rapeseed Oil. It is both a mild primary emulsifier and an effective conditioning agent, which provides elegant cationic emulsions for both skin and hair care products. These emulsions leave hair tangle-free and feeling silky smooth and provide skin with a softer, powdery feel after use in skin products such as lotions and creams. BTMS-50 is also capable of emulsifying silicone, adding to its range in hair care products.

Our favorite hair conditioner recipe, using BTMS.

Ingredients:
Botanical Name: Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetyl Alcohol (and) Butylene Glycol
Common Name: BTMS-50

Note: This product has a distinct odor that can be a bit surprising if you've never smelled it before. We've found that the odor isn't noticeable in finished products when used at 15% or less.

Verified Purchase sylvia 1/17/2019 LOVE I love this product and have been using it for years. I’m now using it at 60% for Hair Conditioner bars and the fishy scent never comes through to the finial product (thank goodness!!) BB: would you consider offering it in 5lb bag?
Verified Purchase Tunde 12/10/2018 Excellent! Excellent product! I used it to make hair conditioner , creams , lotions . Every time work great without giving me a problem. No separation, no smell in final product. Highly recommend this product.
Verified Purchase Rebecca 9/15/2018 Expensive and finicky but you can't make conditioner without it BTMS is one of the most finicky emulsifiers. It also smells awful and is very expensive. And they just raised the price $5 more. However, once you develop a conditioner recipe you love, BTMS or a conditioning plus emulsifyer is an absolute necessity.
Verified Purchase Rose 8/16/2018 EXTREMELY FISHY SMELL! We were trying this for the first time in our body butter, and it ruined the whole batch. The fishy smell is so overpowering that I can't even stand to use my own product much less sell it. I tried using different scents to see if that would help, and even attempted using a different ratio in a separate batch. Nothing worked. It is terrible. I will not be getting this again.
Verified Purchase Edwina 8/2/2018 Smells awful BTMS 50 and this bag smells completely different than the first bag. This one has such a horrible fishy smell that is coming thru to my final product. I made lotion I used BTMS 50. The batches I made with my first order are fine but the batches made with this latest order has a horrible fishy smell to the final product. My lotion was ruined and I can't sell it. I'm very disappointed. *Tina from Bramble Berry replies...* That's strange, our Btms-50 Conditioning Emulsifier has always had a very strong fishy smell to it. Though we have not found the scent to come through in our final products if used at 15% or less. Fragrance or Essential Oils should easily cover the smell. If your lotion is unscented you may want to use a lower percentage, like 6% or less.
