What is BTMS?

Behentrimonium Methosulfate (BTMS) is a cationic surfactant derived from non-GMO rapeseed oil, combining behenyl trimethylammonium with methyl sulfate ions. As a white flake/powder (molecular formula: C₂₅H₅₅NO₄S), it acts as a dual-function emulsifier and conditioner, uniquely binding oils/water while delivering unparalleled slip and softness to hair/skin. XJESON’s BTMS-50 variant (50% active) achieves 85%+ purity via enzymatic synthesis—eliminating residual amines (<1 ppm) and ensuring compliance with ECOCERT/COSMOS standards for natural cosmetics materials.

Key Benefits & Formulation Applications

1. Hair Care material

• Anti-Tangle & Softness:
• Reduces combing force by 62% and static by 45%, ideal for conditioners, hair masks, and relaxers.
• Unlike silicones, leaves no buildup—maintaining hair volume over time.
• Color Protection: Forms a cationic shield around cuticles, preventing dye leaching in color-treated hair.

2. Skin Care Enhancement

• Silky, Non-Greasy Feel:
• Creates a powdery-smooth finish in lotions/creams (pH-stable in 3.0–8.0 formulations).
• Emulsion Stability: Binds oils, silicones, and water phases in cold-process recipes (e.g., bath bombs, scrubs).

3. Clean Beauty Compliance

• Vegan & Eco-Friendly:
• Non-GMO, RSPO-certified rapeseed sourcing (traceable from farm to batch).
• Biodegradable (>90% in 28 days vs. 60% industry average).

FAQs for B2B Clients

Q1: Can BTMS replace cetrimonium chloride in conditioners?

A: Yes. BTMS provides 2× better slip with lower irritation (pH 5.0–6.5 ideal for sensitive scalps).

Q2: How to prevent clumping in cold-process formulations?

A: Use XJESON’s micronized BTMS powder—dissolves fully at 45°C without pre-melting.

Q3: Is BTMS-50 compatible with anionic surfactants?

A: No. Pair with non-ionic/cationic ingredients (e.g., decyl glucoside) to avoid precipitation.

Q4: What’s the MOQ for custom BTMS blends?

A: 500kg (flakes/powder); 1MT for liquid variants.
