Applications & where it’s used
- Skincare lotions and creams (face, body): Especially for O/W emulsions where a smooth, stable product is desired.
- Hair-care products: Used in conditioners or leave-in creams to create stable emulsions, though less common than cationic emulsifiers.
- Baby-care and gentle skincare: Suitable because it is mild and non-ionic.
- Cleansing balms and oil-to-milk emulsions: Its self-emulsifying nature allows oils to rinse off easily upon contact with water.
Price range: KSh 450.00 through KSh 1,800.00Polawax
Price range: KSh 450.00 through KSh 1,800.00BTMS‑50
Key features & benefits
- Conditioning / detangling effect: Because it is cationic (positively charged), it can adsorb to negatively charged hair fibres, reducing friction, improving comb-through, and leaving hair feeling smoother.
- Emulsifying & thickening function: It acts both as an emulsifier (combining oil & water-phases) and contributes to viscosity or body of the formulation.
- Mild & “luxurious” feel: BTMS-50 gives cream emulsions a silky skin-feel and hair conditioners a premium feel.
- Suitable for hair-care applications: In hair conditioners/masks, especially for detangling and smoothing.
