Behentrimonium Chloride – Advanced Conditioning and Emulsifying Agent
Behentrimonium Chloride is a cationic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in hair care formulations to improve manageability, reduce frizz, and enhance texture. Its positively charged molecules bind to the negatively charged surface of hair, smoothing the cuticle, reducing static, and minimizing combing resistance. This results in less damage and tangling during styling and detangling processes.
As a versatile emulsifier, Behentrimonium Chloride stabilizes formulations by effectively combining oil and water phases. Its structure includes a water-loving (hydrophilic) head and a fat-loving (lipophilic) tail, making it a key ingredient in crafting stable and effective hair care products.
