Behentrimonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium mainly used in cosmetics as an anti-static agent or hair conditioner.
Behentrimonium chloride is used for its reasons mainly in hair care. Behentrimonium chloride is prohibited in organic.

The restrictions are dependent on the use of Behentrimonium chloride in:
a) Rinses for hair and facial hair
b) Leave-in products for hair and facial hair
c) Leave-in products for the face

Behentrimonium chloride's functions
Antistatic: Reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electric charge on a surface
Hair conditioner: Leaves hair easy to comb, exible, soft and shiny and / or gives volume, lightness and shine
Preservative: Inhibits the development of microorganisms in cosmetic products.

Behentrimonium chloride 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 nourishes 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 (discreetly ...) in place of silicones.

What are quats really, what is the role of these hair cosmetic active ingredients and are they really harmful and bad for the hair?
Description:
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 owers.
Behentrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt and a straight-chain alkyl trimonium.

What Behentrimonium chloride does?
Behentrimonium chloride is an antistatic and hair conditioning agent; it is also an emulsifying agent.
Behentrimonium chloride 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.
Behentrimonium chloride tends not to dissolve in water, which means it remains on the hair, making it popular in rinse-o 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 "press cake" 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, defrizzes, emulsifier and hair conditioning agent.
Behentrimonium chloride is primarily used in hair care products such as conditioner, dye and mousse.

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.
Behentrimonium chloride 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.

Behentrimonium chloride 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 Behentrimonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride being very light, almost imperceptible when the hair is still wet, whereas, with behentrimonium.

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

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

Properties of Behentrimonium Chloride
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 retain moisture.

What Behentrimonium chloride does:

Conditions, detangles, fights static, softens, and helps strengthen 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, Behentrimonium chloride also acts as a preservative.

Behentrimonium Chloride is a cleaning/conditioning agent (known in technical terms as a “cationic quaternary ammonium compound”) made from colza oil obtained from the seeds of Brassica rapa, var. oleifera (oilseed turnip).

Behentrimonium chloride is a hair care ingredient used to reduce static and frizzing in hair conditioning products.
Behentrimonium chloride is an antistatic ingredient and is also an emulsifying agent, which helps to improve the moisture content of the hair.

Behentrimonium chloride is a naturally occurring ingredient that is derived from the seeds of the Brassica rapa olifera plant.
The Brassica rapa olifera plant is also more commonly known as canola or rapeseed and is part of the mustard plant family.
The plant has distinctive yellow flowers that you may remember driving past fields of when driving through country areas.

As for the science-y stuff, behentrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt and a straight chain alkyl trimonium.
Behentrimonium chloride is often assessed or categorized with other trimonium ingredients.

What Are The Benefits of Behentrimonium Chloride?
The main benefits of behentrimonium chloride are its antistatic properties and its mild conditioning or emulsifying properties.

Conditioning
Behentrimonium chloride is a mild conditioning agent for both the skin and hair. Conditioning ingredients helps to improve the moisture content of the skin.

Skin conditioning ingredients are often used in moisturizers, lotions, balms, and hair conditioners.
Behentrimonium chloride is mostly used in hair care products and also helps to emulsify the product, keeping it a uniform and consistent texture.

Anti-static
Behentrimonium chloride is mainly used for its ability to reduce static electricity that can occur between the hair shafts when they move against each other or against fabrics.

This improves the appearance of the hair, giving it shine, improved volume and can also help to visibly improve the appearance of damaged or chemically treated hair.
Static occurs most often with clean hair as there is no oil or coating on the strand to prevent or limit the rubbing.

How Behentrimonium Chloride Is Made?
Behentrimonium chloride is derived from canola oil.
In order to obtain behentrimonium chloride, the canola seeds are heated and pressed, then solvents which help to dissolve ingredients are added to extract the ol.
The solvents are later removed from the oil through heating processing.
Once the oil has been extracted behentrimonium chloride can be made by, bare with me here, quaternizing behenyl dimethylamine with methyl chloride in 30% dipropylene glycol.
Essentially it is derived from canola oil which is treated to produce behentrimonium chloride.

Storage & Shelf Life
Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, Behentrimonium Chloride should last at least two years.

Behentrimonium chloride is an anti-static ingredient that helps condition the hair.

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.
Behentrimonium chloride is also a surfactant: partly water-soluble and partly oil-soluble, Behentrimonium chloride 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.

Behentrimonium chloride 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, you can really feel the product in the hair.

APPLICATIONS
Behentrimonium chloride is a powerful primary emulsifier and can produce stable cationic emulsions even at low inclusion levels.
When used as the only oil phase ingredient and emulsifier in low solids formulations, it facilitates the production of stable cost-effective emulsions without compromising performance standards.
In addition, Behentrimonium chloride can emulsify high levels of silicone eg dimethicone, cyclomethicone, materials which can be difficult to incorporate into emulsion systems.
Silicones are typically used in hair conditioning products for their hydrophobicity, as restoring the hair's water repellency after chemical treatments (perming, colouring, relaxing) is an important part of the conditioning process.
Protective silicone skin creams also function on this basis.
By incorporating Behentrimonium chloride into silicone systems a pronounced conditioning effect is obtained, enhancing both product performance as well as aesthetics.

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.
In vitro, clinical, and controlled consumer usage tests in barrier-impaired individuals were conducted to determine if whole body, leave-on skin care products containing 1–5% Behentrimonium chloride cause dermal irritation or any other skin reaction with use.
Behentrimonium chloride-containing formulations were predicted to be non-irritants by the EpiDerm® skin irritation test and the bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP)/chorioallantoic membrane vascular assay (CAMVA) ocular irritation test battery.
No evidence of allergic contact dermatitis or cumulative dermal irritation was noted under the exaggerated conditions of human occlusive patch tests.
No clinically assessed or self-reported adverse reactions were noted in adults or children with atopic, eczematous, and/or xerotic skin during two-week and four-week monitored home usage studies.
These results were confirmed by post-marketing data for five body lotions, which showed only 0.69 undesirable effects (mostly skin irritation) reported per million shipped consumer units during 2006–2011; a value consistent with a non-irritating body lotion.
No serious undesirable effects were reported during in-market use of the products.
Therefore, if formulated inappropriate conditions at 1–5%, Behentrimonium chloride will not cause dermal irritation or delayed contact sensitization when used in a whole-body, leave-on product.
