Its functions (INCI)
Antistatic: Reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electric charge on a surface
Hair conditioner: Leaves hair easy to comb, flexible, soft and shiny and / or gives volume, lightness and shine
Preservative: Inhibits the development of microorganisms in cosmetic products.
 
INCI: Behentrimonium chloride
What is Behentrimonium chloride or Béhentrimonium chloride?
It is a quaternary ammonium salt, a waxy organic compound of yellow color.

Use and benefits of Behentrimonium chloride:
Behentrimonium chloride is used as an antistatic agent; it forms a layer on the hair and keeps it untangled. Behentrimonium chloride is also used as an emulsifier. Behentrimonium chloride is found mainly in conditioners and tinctures.
 
Behentrimonium chloride allows the product to slide evenly over the hair, which facilitates detangling and moisturizing, especially for damaged hair. Used in many curly black hair products to soften and restore dryness as Behentrimonium chloride can penetrate the hair shaft.

Behentrimonium chloride, however, has certain antimicrobial benefits.
The mention without silicone flourishes on our hair shampoo, conditioner or hair mask products, in order to appear more natural. But behentrimonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride or behentrimonium methosulfate or Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine for the main ones replace them to beautify our hair: these are quaternary ammonium salts (quats) which act in place of silicones. Chemistry therefore replaces scary chemistry. What are quats really, what is the role of these hair cosmetic active ingredients and are they really harmful and bad for the hair? 

Cationic surfactant with anti-static and conditioning effect
What is Behentrimonium chloride
Behentrimonium chloride is a waxy solid derived from colza oil. Colza oil comes from the seeds of Brassica rapa olifera, also called canola or rapeseed, which is part of the mustard plant family. The plant has signature yellow flowers. Behentrimonium chloride is quaternary ammonium salt and a straight chain alkyl trimonium.
 
What Behentrimonium chloride does in products
Behentrimonium chloride is an antistatic and hair conditioning agent; it is also an emulsifying agent. It is a type of trimonium that makes cationic chains attract to anionic charges in the protein structure of skin and hair, which creates a conditioning effect. It tends not to dissolve in water, which means it remains on the hair, making it popular in rinse-off hair conditioners.Behentrimonium chloride is present in hundreds of personal care products, including conditioner, hair coloring, moisturizers, bath soaps, mousse and other items.

How Behentrimonium chloride made
Making behentrimonium chloride begins by making canola oil. Canola seeds are heated then pressed via screw presses or expellers. Solvents are usually added to the remaining "presscake" to extract the remaining oil. The solvent is later removed from the oil via a steam and heat process.Behentrimonium chloride is then made by quaternizing behenyl dimethylamine with methyl chloride in 30% dipropylene glycol.

Why we use Behentrimonium chloride
We use behentrimonium chloride in several of our products as a hair detangler, and it is a much more natural alternative to harsh silicones. The Cosmetics Ingredient Review has deemed the ingredient safe for use in cosmetics.Whole Foods has deemed the ingredient acceptable in its body care quality standards. In addition, behentrimonium chloride (25% in cetearyl alcohol) was reported to be an ocular irritant, though several studies show the ingredient is not a strong skin irritant

Behentrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt used as a preservative, antistatic agent, defrizzer, emulsifier and hair conditioning agent. It is primarily used in hair care products such as conditioner, dye and mousse.

Behentrimonium chloride (BTC) is a straight-chain alkyltrimonium chloride compound commonly used as an antistatic, hair conditioning, emulsifier, or preservative agent in personal care products. Although the European Union recently restricted the use of alkyltrimonium chlorides and bromides as preservatives to 0.1%, these compounds have been safely used for many years at 5% in hundreds of cosmetic products for other uses than as a preservative. 

Description
Not only conditioning it also acts as a preservative by preventing the growth of bacteria in liquid solutions, and therefore help products to last longer. It is also a surfactant: partly water-soluble and partly oil-soluble, it allows oil and water to become dispersed and give products a good consistency and a gentle cleansing foam.
 
Behentrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt, its concentration in cosmetics is highly controlled by state regulations.

It is very similar to another conditioning ingredient called cetrimonium chloride. Indeed, only the number of carbon atoms they contain differs, which slightly changes the feel of the conditioner on the hair when you apply it, cetrimonium chloride being very light, almost imperceptible when the hair is still wet, whereas, with behentrimonium.

What is it? Behentrimonium Chloride is a cationic emulsifier and conditioning ingredient. Unlike Behentrimonium Methosulfate (BTMS) it is often available without any stabilizing additives like cetearyl alcohol, so you'll need to add some of your own in order to create stable emulsions with it.

Why do we use it in recipes? Behentrimonium Chloride is an excellent conditioner, helping improve comb-through, reduce static, and soften coarse hair. It is most typically used in cream-type hair conditioners, both leave-in and rinse-out.

Behentrimonium chloride
* A yellow, waxlike organic compound. Also known as docosyltrimethylammonium chloride or BTAC-228.
Acts as an anti-static and conditioning agent. Its waxy texture also makes it a great defrizzer and emulsifier. Primarily used in hair care products such as conditioner, dye and mousse.

Properties
Conditioning and moisturizing hair fluid that adds shine and detangles hair due to behentrimonium and
propyltrimonium. The jojoba protein coats and conditions damaged hair and retains moisture. 

What it does:

Conditions, detangles, fights static, softens, and helps strenghten hair. Since it's plant-based and not petrochemical-based, it doesn't coat but penetrates the hair shaft for potent conditioning effects. In some applications, it also acts as a preservative.

Why we use it:

Not only is this particular conditioning agent plant-based and especially effective at doing its job, it's also Whole Foods Premium Body Care approved. And, their standards, developed by a team of scientists over the course of years, are some of the strictest available. If they give it a thumbs-up, we do, too.
