BTMS-50 is a premium, plant-derived cationic emulsifier and conditioning agent widely used in modern haircare and skincare formulations. Known for its exceptional conditioning performance and silky after-feel, BTMS-50 provides superior detangling, softness, glide, and manageability, making it a formulator favorite for high-performance conditioners, masks, and leave-in treatments. As an RSPO Mass Balance certified ingredient, this version supports responsible, sustainable sourcing of palm-derived raw materials while delivering the same consistent, high-quality performance formulators expect.
Beyond haircare, BTMS-50 is also an excellent emulsifier for lightweight lotions and creams, offering a conditioning, powdery-soft skin feel without heaviness. Its mildness and versatility make it ideal for all hair types, including curly, coily, fine, damaged, and chemically treated hair, as well as for sensitive skin body care formulations.
