Diverse Applications in Cosmetic and Personal Care Products:

BTMS is a highly versatile ingredient, celebrated for its unique ability to not only emulsify but also to provide superior conditioning, making it a cornerstone in various cosmetic applications:

Hair Conditioners and Masks: This is where BTMS truly shines. Its cationic nature allows it to positively charge and adhere to negatively charged hair strands, smoothing the cuticle, reducing frizz, and providing exceptional detangling. It leaves hair feeling incredibly soft, silky, and manageable, without a greasy residue. Ideal for rinse-out and leave-in conditioners, deep conditioning masks, and hair softening treatments.

Shampoo Bars and Solid Conditioners: BTMS is a fantastic choice for solid formats, offering a compact and eco-friendly way to deliver powerful conditioning benefits. It helps create a rich, creamy lather in solid shampoos and provides excellent slip for solid conditioners.

Co-Wash Products: In co-washing (conditioner-only washing) formulations, BTMS effectively cleanses while simultaneously conditioning, making it perfect for those with dry, curly, or delicate hair.

Body Lotions and Creams: While primarily known for hair care, BTMS can also be incorporated into skin care products. It lends a luxurious, velvety feel to lotions and creams, leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and conditioned. It contributes to a non-greasy, elegant texture.

Hair Styling Creams and Leave-in Treatments: Provides light hold, frizz control, and a soft, touchable finish in styling products, enhancing hair's natural texture and shine.

Facial Cleansers (Creamy): Can be used in small amounts to create creamy, non-drying facial cleansers that leave the skin feeling soft and supple after rinsing.

Shaving Creams and Balms: Contributes to a smooth glide during shaving and helps to soothe and condition the skin post-shave.

Applications in Handcrafted Creations:

BTMS also extends its benefits to various handcrafted items within the realm of personal care and creative projects, specifically where conditioning and emulsification are desired.

Handmade Soaps (Melt & Pour or Cold Process): While not a primary soaping agent, BTMS can be added to these soap formulations in small amounts to introduce conditioning properties, making the soap gentler on the skin and leaving a softer feel after washing. In melt and pour, it helps with a creamy lather; in cold process, it contributes to superfatting and conditioning.

Bath Bombs and Solid Bath Melts: Can be incorporated to create a more luxurious bath experience, helping to emulsify oils and provide a soft, silky feel to the bathwater and skin.

Solid Lotion Bars and Massage Melts: Contributes to the smooth glide and conditioning feel of solid lotions and massage melts, offering a non-greasy application that melts beautifully on contact with skin.

Hair Detangling Sprays (DIY): Ideal for creating homemade detangling sprays, as its conditioning properties significantly improve comb-through and reduce breakage.

Cosmetic Recipe: Ultra-Conditioning Hair Mask

Ingredient	Phase	Percentage (%)	Notes
Distilled Water	A	65.0	Base liquid for the emulsion
Vegetable Glycerin	A	5.0	Humectant, draws moisture to hair
BTMS	B	8.0	Conditioning emulsifier, melts at 50-60°C
Cetyl Alcohol	B	3.0	Fatty alcohol, provides thickening and conditioning
Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil)	C	10.0	Rich in fatty acids, nourishes and adds shine
Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil)	C	5.0	Mimics natural sebum, helps balance hair
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein	D	2.0	Strengthens hair, reduces breakage
Panthenol (Vitamin B5)	D	1.0	Humectant, improves hair elasticity and moisture
Liquid Germall Plus (or chosen preservative)	D	1.0	Broad-spectrum preservative, crucial for water-based products
Essential Oil of Choice (e.g., Lavender)	D	0.5	For fragrance (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare Phase A: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine distilled water and vegetable glycerin.

Prepare Phase B: In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine BTMS and Cetyl Alcohol.

Heat Phases: Place both beakers in a double boiler or use direct low heat. Heat both phases simultaneously to 70-75°C (158-167°F). Ensure BTMS and Cetyl Alcohol are fully melted in Phase B.

Emulsify: Once both phases reach temperature and Phase B is fully melted, slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while continuously mixing with a stick blender or high-shear mixer. Blend for 2-3 minutes to ensure a strong emulsion forms.

Cool Down: Continue mixing occasionally as the mixture cools down to approximately 40°C (104°F). The emulsion will thicken as it cools.

Add Phase C: Once the temperature reaches around 40°C, add Argan Oil and Jojoba Oil to the emulsion. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Add Phase D: Once the emulsion has cooled to below 35°C (95°F), add Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Panthenol, Liquid Germall Plus, and your chosen essential oil (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Package: Transfer the finished hair mask into a clean, sanitized jar or tube.

Application Recommendations:

After shampooing, apply a generous amount of the Ultra-Conditioning Hair Mask to clean, wet hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Leave on for 5-15 minutes (or longer for a deep treatment), then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For best results, use 1-2 times per week. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with water.

Ціни підкупають, але, іноді , розчарування: купила 1 кг BTMS, тиждень продукцію виливала в унітаз, бо не емульгуєттся . Знайшла залишки з іншого магазину, все вийшло.
