In the field of personal care, especially hair care, the selection of raw materials plays a crucial role in the final effect of the product. As an important
Cationic Conditioner, Behentrimonium methaosulfate has attracted much attention due to its excellent conditioning performance. Similar to commonly used ingredients such as
Behentrimonium chloride and
Cetrimonium chloride, it demonstrates stable and reliable conditioning effects in hair care formulations. The
OSMFACT® launched by Yichang Mingya New Material Technology Co., Ltd The MY BTMS series products, although the core ingredient is Behentrimonium methosulfate, have differences in content, solvents, and other aspects among different specifications, which brings diverse advantages and possibilities to hair care products.
I.Behentrimonium methosulfate:core strength of hair care and conditioning
Behentrimonium methaosulfate is an INCI name with a CAS number of 81646-13-1. As a cationic surfactant, it can firmly adhere to the hair by the mutual attraction between cationic groups and negative charges on the hair surface, bringing many practical benefits to the hair. In hair care products, its most intuitive function is to reduce static electricity between hair, making hair that was originally prone to tangling smoother and easier to comb, avoiding hair breakage and damage caused by pulling during combing; At the same time, it can also form a thin protective film on the surface of the hair, firmly locking in moisture and making the hair feel soft and smooth, similar to how
Cationic Softener can make fabrics fluffy and soft.
II.BTMS 25：The gentle choice for skin sensation
1. Basic characteristics
In BTMS 25, the content of berberine methosulfate is controlled at 24-26%, and Cetearyl alcohol is used as the solvent. From the perspective of basic characteristics, this ingredient combination allows it to blend friendly with other ingredients in various formula systems without layering or clumping.
2. Performance advantages
Excellent conditioning performance: As a hair conditioner, its performance is quite impressive. Whether in the process of shampooing or subsequent hair care steps, products that add it can make hair particularly easy to comb, just like untying tangled strands, greatly reducing the pulling and damage caused by entanglement. And it can also give the hair a high-quality creamy luster, giving it a healthier texture, especially suitable for products that focus on "luxury care experience". For normal hair volume or thicker hair, the conditioning effect is also very suitable.
Formula compatibility: Due to its moderate content and the use of cetearyl alcohol as a solvent, it not only has a regulating effect, but also maintains good mildness. Even people with sensitive scalp can use it with confidence. Cetearyl alcohol is commonly used in personal care products to moisturize the skin, assist in emulsification, and when combined with behentrinium methosulfate, can further enhance the product's skin feel, making hair care products smoother to apply and less sticky after use. In addition, this ingredient combination also makes BTMS 25 have good formula compatibility, and can work together with various surfactants, plant oils, and active nutrients. Formulators can flexibly adjust according to their needs, easily making hair care products with different effects and textures.
III.BTMS 80：Efficient Responsibility at High Concentrations
1. Basic components
The Behentrimonium methosulfate content of BTMS 80 was directly increased to 80%, and the solvent was replaced with Isopropyl alcohol, along with about 11% water. Such a high content of core components gives it a "strong gene" from the beginning of its performance.
2. Application features
Powerful conditioning: The high content of core ingredients makes its conditioning ability particularly strong. When used in hair care products, one can quickly see an improvement in the condition of the hair - like tangled hair that gets stuck with just a comb, or dry hair that explodes with the wind, with a noticeable increase in smoothness after one use. This is just like how high concentration nutrient solution can quickly replenish nutrients to plants, it can also densely supplement conditioning ingredients to hair in a short period of time, making hair regain softness.
Specific scenario: Isopropanol, as a solvent, has good volatility and solubility, which also allows BTMS 80 to find its place in some special formulations of hair care products. For example, the popular wash free hair care spray can be used as a suitable raw material - isopropanol volatilizes quickly, and can be sprayed on the hair for a few seconds to dry without sticking to the hair tip to affect the hair style.
IV.The difference between the two products
OSMFACT ® MY BTMS 25 and OSMFACT ® Although both MY BTMS 80 are based on Behentrimonium methosulfate, the difference in content between 25% and 80%, combined with the combination of Cetearyl alcohol and Isopropyl alcohol (aqueous), make them suitable for different application scenarios.
BTMS 25 is an adapter - its moderate content ensures basic conditioning effects without causing irritation to the scalp due to its high concentration of ingredients. The addition of Cetearyl alcohol is an added bonus, as this commonly used moisturizing ingredient allows it to blend better with other formula ingredients. Take the commonly used cream conditioner as an example. After it is added, the hair will feel smoother when combed. The fine texture of the application can also make the customer feel comfortable. After rinsing, the scalp will be fresh and clean without sticky residue.
BTMS 80 is highly efficient - its high content of 80% directly maximizes the conditioning power, making it easy to deal with difficult hair types. Like tangled hair that gets stuck with just a comb, or dry hair that blows in the wind, you can see significant changes with just one use. The solvent properties of isopropanol also make it stand out in convenient hair care scenarios, such as the travel style no wash hair lotion, which is very suitable for use: isopropanol can make the product texture fresher, quickly absorb and not stick to the hands after application, while Behentrimonium methosulfate can form a smooth layer on the surface of hair, instantly smoothing out frizz and reducing frizz.
This product design with the same core ingredients but different formula specifications actually hides Mingya's profound understanding of the demand in the hair care market. In the current consumer concept, buying hair care products is not a bottle for all hair qualities: some people need mild and non irritating daily basic care, some people pursue efficient repair products that can save the market quickly, and others like convenient and worry free formulations such as wash free and spray. These two raw materials precisely correspond to these segmented needs, allowing brands to quickly find the most suitable raw material solutions based on their positioning and target audience.
In summary, as people's demands for hair care become increasingly refined, the idea of making raw materials specialized and refined will only become more and more popular. In the future, Mingya will definitely continue to deepen its cultivation in the field of segmented raw materials, using products that better meet market demand to help brands create more products that satisfy consumers.
