Conditioner pellets (BTMS 25)

Conditioner pellets (BTMS 25)

Conditioner Pellets (BTMS 25) are a conditioning emulsifier commonly used in hair conditioners, leave-in treatments, hair masks, conditioning bars, and moisturisers. Unlike most emulsifiers, BTMS 25 is cationic (positively charged), which allows it to be attracted to the negatively charged surface of hair. This helps it deposit onto the hair shaft, leaving hair feeling softer, smoother, and easier to manage.

BTMS 25 helps improve slip, reduce static, and minimise tangling, making it a popular choice for conditioners and detangling products. It can also be used in skincare formulations, where it contributes a silky, conditioned skin feel and helps create elegant, non-greasy emulsions.

Its versatility and ease of use make it a favourite ingredient for both beginner and experienced formulators.
