BTMS-50 Conditioning Emulsifier (also known as Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetearyl Alcohol) is a vegetable-based ingredient that enhances the texture and efficacy of hair and skincare products. Derived from rapeseed oil, BTMS-50 is a natural, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic emulsifiers. These emulsifying pellets help offer a silky feel and light, whipped appearance to lotions, creams, and hair care products. With its ability to create stable emulsions and enhance moisturizing and detangling capabilities, BTMS-50 is the ideal choice for creators seeking to blend efficacy with natural ingredients.
BTMS 50% is highly effective at creating stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions and is typically used at concentrations between 1-10% depending on the formulation and desired texture. However, using too much can result in a heavy and sticky product. It works well with a wide range of other ingredients, including oils, waxes, and botanical extracts. Make sure to Measure by weight and add to formula as directed when using.
Key Features of BTMS-50:
- Usage: Ideal for a wide range of personal care products, including conditioners, creams, and lotions.
- Mild and Gentle: Suitable for leave-on skin care and hair care products, ensuring compatibility with sensitive skin.
- Low Irritation: Formulated to minimize the risk of irritation, enhancing the appeal of products for all skin types.

This is a must have for my conditioner bars and most places charge well over $20/pound. If you need BTMS-50, buy it here!

This product states low odor when in reality it smells so strong it’s unusable in applications that do not require heavy scenting. Save your money if you don’t want the fish smelling variety.

Great price and works good. Has a slight smell, not overpowering. Doesn’t come through in finished emulsions.

After using this one time in lotion I sold the rest. I left a review once but the company decided I was a liar because I had sold the product – except I tried it beforehand and it doesn‚Äôt take more than one batch to know that I don‚Äôt scent my lotion heavy enough to cover the HEAVY fish smell. This is not LOW odor at the slightest but anyone who has less than a 5 star review gets told they‚Äôre wrong and deleted. Lovely business practices 🙂

So thankful this site came up on my feed. I needed this item so bad for two of my recipes and omg afterpay is my homie! You saved the day and the bag is a nice size and you can tell it was weighed properly. All air was removed before shipping. You’ve gained a repeat customer. Thank you for understanding new starts don’t have the funds to pay everything all at once. Afterpay has saved my life and business. And can we discus how fast it came?! I ordered 1/26 late at night and received it 1/30. Lightning fast! Thank you so much again.
