Price range: KSh 200.00 through KSh 650.00BTMS‑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.
