Benefits
- Conditioning Agent: Behentrimonium Methosulfate is primarily used as a conditioning agent. It helps to soften and detangle hair, making it easier to comb and style.
- Emulsifier: It acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients in formulations, which is essential for creating stable creams and lotions.
- Surfactant: While it is milder than traditional sulfates, it can also function as a surfactant, helping to cleanse the hair and scalp by allowing water to mix with oil and dirt for easier rinsing.

Use

This is very helpful for high porosity hair-type that quickly gets depleted of moisture. This ingredient is used specifically in shampoos and conditioners for curly hair, to restore hydration leaving it softer and shinier
