Behentrimonium Methosulfate (BTMS) is a plant-derived (rapeseed oil) cationic emulsifier and conditioning agent used in hair and skin care, known for making hair soft, smooth, detangled, and frizz-free without heavy buildup, acting as a gentle silicone alternative; despite its "sulfate" name, it's a mild, non-irritating compound offering excellent slip and moisturization in conditioners, masks, and lotions, though some brands avoid it due to aquatic toxicity concerns, notes Paula's Choice, SpecialChem, Skoon Cosmetics, Curlvana, Silver Stone Apothecary, National Institutes of Health (NIH), The Holistic Enchilada, and FormuNova.

Hair Conditioning: Imparts slip, softness, reduces static, detangles, and smooths hair cuticles, making hair manageable.
