RE: behentrimonium methosulfate

[Guest guest]

Peggy,

This is a cationic surfactant that is most commonly used as a hair

conditioner. Because it is cationic it is not compatible with anionics

and in particular soap.

The terms cationic and anionic refer to the very small electrical charge

that the molecule has on its surface.

behentrimonium methosulfate

Can someone tell me what behentrimonium methosulfate is and what it

is used for?

I`m a lurker and have been learning a lot from this list.

TIA

Peggy

As has already said Behentrimonium Methosulfate is " cationic

surfactant " . But I don't know anyone that supplies Behentrimonium

Methosulfate as a single ingredient. This cationic surfactant is

usually blended Cetearyl Alcohol.

You can think of Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetearyl Alcohol as a

cationic emulsifying wax. I'm guessing, but I'd say that Croda <

http://www.crodausa.com/ > manufactures and sell most of the

Behentrimonium Methosulfate in the marketplace today and it is sold

under the trade name Incroquat Behenyl TMS.

Angie at The Herbarie < http://www.theherbarie.com> sells Incroquat

Behenyl TMS under her trade name Emulsifying Conditioner:

> and what it is used for?

If you go to the Croda website < http://www.crodausa.com/> you'll find

information on Incroquat Behenyl TMS and some formulas. Angie also has

formulas on her website that are " homecrafter friendly " .

Quoting from a Croda's sales document for Incroquat Behenyl TMS

" INCROQUAT BEHENYL TMS is a quaternary conditioning agent and cationic

emulsifier based on a C22 long chain fatty moiety, making it

tremendously effective as a detangler for hair, yet safe and gentle

enough for leave-on skin care products. Noted for its exceptional

mildness, INCROQUAT BEHENYL TMS produces elegant cationic emulsions

that are substantive to skin and hair. These emulsions provide a soft

powdery afterfeel that persists on the skin and a silky smoothness that

leaves hair tangle-free.

INCROQUAT BEHENYL TMS has a wide range of applications in skin care, as

well as hair care. Its exceptionally mild properties make it an ideal

choice for leave-in conditioners. Because it can function as the

primary emulsifier, INCROQUAT BEHENYL TMS can be used as the sole

oil-phase ingredient in 'bare-minimum' balsam conditioners, allowing an

economical product to be produced without sacrificing performance.

INCROQUAT BEHENYL TMS has also shown superior results in ethnic hair

care systems, leaving a softer feel and greater sheen in comparison to

stearalkonium chloride, it has become a conditioner of choice for

relaxers.

INCROQUAT BEHENYL TMS offers innovative properties to formulations.

Since the fatty alcohol moiety behaves as a thickener, formulating with

INCROQUAT BEHENYL TMS is easier. As a primary emulsifier, INCROQUAT

BEHENYL TMS gives body and thickness to emulsion systems, and as a

conditioning agent, confers conditioning, softening and emollient

effects to skin and hair. In skin creams and lotions INCROQUAT BEHENYL

TMS creates a soft, powdery afterfeel. Because it is substantive to

hair, it imparts excellent body and spring and improves wet comb. In

cream rinses it enhances manageability by reducing flyaway and can

sometimes add an interesting pearlescent effect to the emulsion. "
