General Description:

Behentrimonium Methosulfate is a mild, cationic quaternary ammonium compound derived from colza oil (rapeseed oil). It functions primarily as a conditioning agent and emulsifier, particularly valued for its gentle, non-irritating profile and excellent skin and hair compatibility. Despite its name, it is not a sulfate-based surfactant and is considered safe for sensitive formulations.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:

Provides excellent conditioning, detangling, and softening effects without build-up. It improves wet combability and enhances manageability.
Offers long-lasting conditioning and anti-static properties without weighing hair down.
Helps stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, giving a smooth texture and light feel on the skin.
Favored in products for natural, textured, or chemically-treated hair due to its ability to smooth and moisturize without irritation.

Hazard & Safety Information:

Behentrimonium Methosulfate is considered very mild, making it suitable for sensitive skin and scalp applications.
It does not typically cause allergic reactions and is biodegradable, aligning with clean beauty standards.
Widely regarded as safe in rinse-off and leave-on products at typical usage levels of 1–10%, depending on formulation.
May cause mild irritation if it comes in direct contact with the eyes; avoid direct exposure.
Despite the "methosulfate" in the name, it is not related to harsh sulfates like sodium lauryl sulfate and is safe for sulfate-free product claims.
