Is GENAMİN BTMS CA (BTMS) dangerous or harmful to our hair? This cosmetic active ingredient is often found in the formulations of care products (definition cream, styling, hair milk, mask or even conditioner) for curly or frizzy hair or dry and damaged hair in general. On the web, as usual, there is a lot of misinformation / confusion about this with many articles recommending it be avoided on the grounds that it would not be "healthy" for the hair.
 So let's clarify the role of GENAMİN BTMS CA and its mode of action on our hair.

Questions and answers on GENAMİN BTMS CA (BTMS), active cosmetic hair decryption:

What is GENAMİN BTMS CA? 
Nature and Properties
GENAMİN BTMS CA belongs to the category of surfactants  cationic (also called sulphates) whose end (head) belongs to the family of quaternary ammonium salts (often abbreviated as quat). It is a semi-compound ingredient since it contains a mixture of 25% GENAMİN BTMS CA quat and a cetearyl alcohol fatty acid and sometimes a glycol.

Benefits for the hair: Due to their electric charge opposite to that of the hair (negative), they have the particularity of attaching (adsorption) to the hair fiber in a humid environment, like magnets (the opposite charges attracting = attraction electrostatic) and adhere well to it. They are therefore film-forming active ingredients because they form a protective and sheathing film around the hair which smooths / flattens the scales on its surface and thus reduces friction causing tangling of the hair (lubricating action which promotes the gliding of the comb / brush without a hitch and without breakage of the hair) as well as a "rough" aspect. Finally, it reduces static electricity (an antistatic agent) which causes hair to rebound and become electric. The sheathing and lubricating action of BTMS is similar to that of oils, butters or fatty acids, that is to say a nourishing and moisturizing action (in the sense that it allows the control of the flow of humidity that enters and leaves of hair and limit hygral fatigue). However, the advantage of BTMS is that it is deposited in a targeted manner so it will tend to grease my hair, stick to my hair and it also adheres better to the fiber thanks to its electrical charge in affinity with that of hair keratin.

The word "sulphate" is often scary because it is associated by ignorance with detergent sulphates (= cleansers by removing impurities but also sebum and any fatty substance in general) or irritants typical of shampoos (Sodium lauryl sulphate -SLS- and sodium laureth sulfate -SLES-) which contain a negative charge, for example. However, there are different types of sulphates with different functions. GENAMİN BTMS CA contains a positive charge, which means that it has no stripping action but on the contrary a beautifying action ("conditioning agent") as well as detangling the hair.

 Genamin BTMS CA is considered to be one of the softest detangling active ingredients, which explains why it is tolerated by some organic labels such as Cosmebio and can also be used in baby care. Genamin BTMS CA is also preferable to its cousins ​​Behentrimonium chloride or Cetrimonium chloride for example, which are more irritating for the skin, in particular in products intended for the scalp such as shampoos and co-washings (cream / balm / washing oil) that I do not recommend personally. The latter two indeed have a slight washing power and therefore detergent as well as biocide (destroys microorganisms), which personally dries my hair especially since I passed the 40 years mark with the arrival of the first White hair. However, BTMS does not have a washing power to my knowledge due to the fatty alcohol it contains.

Finally, Genamin BTMS CA acts as an emulsifying wax (a component allowing the mixing of two immiscible substances, in particular oil and fatty substances in general and water).

GENAMİN BTMS CA and hair
GENAMİN BTMS CA molecule

Is GENAMİN BTMS CA a silicone?
If GENAMİN BTMS CA and silicones are two of the synthetic hair active ingredients aimed at beautifying the hair by smoothing and lubricating its surface, among other things by the formation of a film around its fiber, they do not belong to the same category of ingredient at the molecular level. In fact, silicones are similar to lubricating oils whereas GENAMİN BTMS CA is a quaternary ammonium salt which is deposited in a nanometric layer on the cuticle, in particular in areas with a high negative charge (ie the areas of the hair most more damaged), which is why we are talking about the intelligent targeted action of its components, unlike silicones or other natural fatty substances which coat the hair uniformly without distinction (which can prove to be more oily and more sticky in particular for fine hair ).
GENAMİN BTMS CA can be compared to quaternary ammonium salts (cationic surfactant) generally ending with the suffix "monium" and / or completed with the term "chloride" such as:

Behentrimonium chloride,
Cetrimonium bromide,
Cetrimonium chloride,
Stearalkonium chloride,
Dicetyldimonium chloride,
Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride.

A distinction is made between quaternary alkyl ammonium salts such as Cetrimonium chloride and GENAMİN BTMS CA and alkyl amino salts such as stearamidopropyl dimethylamine which exhibit less binding power compared to the former (therefore which are more easily removed).

Note that they are often combined with silicones and other fatty substances in cosmetic formulations to enhance its action lubricating, sheathing and smoothing.

Is GENAMİN BTMS CA water soluble (can it be rinsed off)?
No, it is precisely intended to adhere closely to the fiber after rinsing (what is called substantivity in technical language). If it were rinsable and soluble in water, then there would be no hair benefit. The goal is precisely to have a substance that remains and replaces the protective film normally formed by the deficient sebum in the case of dry and / or damaged hair. In this case, BTMS is one of the strongest quaternary cationic surfactants with a particularly high power of adhesion to the hair. This is due to its particularly long hydrocarbon chain of behenyl (C22); in fact, the more carbons a quat has, the more substantive it is.
By comparison, cetrimonium chloride is presented as the least tenacious in the hair (with a carbon chain limited to 16: C16). Which is therefore considered a quality when it comes to improving the appearance of hair in a more lasting way.

Is GENAMİN BTMS CA occlusive (blocks moisture in the hair)?
As explained, the BTMS forms a light targeted film around the hair in order to smooth and close the scales of its cuticle. This is in fact the principle behind all so-called moisturizing or nourishing hair active ingredients. They aim to restore and improve the integrity of the fiber (surface) by reinforcing its hydrophobicity (ability to limit incoming and outgoing moisture flows that deform the hair) and by allowing it to acquire a soft touch, shine and manageable hair with well defined curls.
An active ingredient that has occlusive properties is therefore an asset for dry hair and even for the skin, moreover, which cannot retain its internal hydration. Let us recall once again here that hydration of dry hair does not mean providing them with water, it is even the reverse, we actually want above all to reduce the porosity of the hair, that is to say among other things its too high absorption of water. humidity which causes it to swell and creates frizz and other messy, "unruly" hair or makes it electric and unkempt. Do not forget that the role of the cuticle is to act as a shield against external aggressions and humidity is part of it even if a minimum of internal water also partly ensures the hair's flexibility (far from being the determining factor however).

Does GENAMİN BTMS CA accumulate in the hair and form deposits / residue?
If you don't shampoo your hair from time to time, some silicones (eg: dimethicone) could build up on the fiber.
The same phenomenon could occur with GENAMİN BTMS CA (given that it is an alkyl quat) especially since, unlike the latter, they are not eliminated by conventional anionic clarifying shampoos (it should be used instead of shampoos). based on Sodium polystyrene sulfonate or proceed to a gentle exfoliation with a paste based on baking soda or sugar which will remove them by abrasion: be careful any cecc will dry your hair, so check the symptoms given in this article before get started!). However, in general this possible accumulation does not pose a problem for dry and porous hair such as curly and frizzy and / or damaged hair because of their constant need for lubrication and coating. It even appears rather beneficial by strengthening the fiber.
Only fine, low density hair could possibly be inconvenienced (this is often due to a combination of ingredients and active ingredients, rarely to BTMS alone).

The symptoms of an accumulation of conditioning active ingredients, whether it is GENAMİN BTMS CA, any other quat or silicones or even an excess of natural ingredients such as vegetable oils are:
- weighting of the hair leading to a loss of volume and a loss of elasticity of the curls (relaxed, soft curls that lack bounce)
- dull AND oily looking hair
- an itchy and oily dandruff scalp

These symptoms are cumulative.

Be careful if your hair looks dry and rough, this is a sign that it is bare and is no longer properly lubricated, whether by your natural sebum or any other chemical or natural substitute. Do not commit the stupidity of stripping them with I do not know what clarifying or purifying product ... You would end up with an even more unmanageable bale of straw on your head ...

Can GENAMİN BTMS CA suffocate the hair?
Remember here again that a hair, a biologically dead material, does not breathe so it will be difficult to "suffocate" it ... On the other hand, as I said, you could weigh it down, especially if you have thin, not very dense hair.
The hair will in this case have a greasy, sticky and soft appearance. In general this is due to an accumulation of too fatty products and not just to a single ingredient such as BTMS which attaches itself in a targeted way to the hair, where it is needed.

Is GENAMİN BTMS CA of chemical or natural origin?
It is derived from a vegetable source which is none other than rapeseed oil. However, it is then chemically modified. It is therefore not an active ingredient for the natural hair.

In fact, even if a surfactant is derived from a vegetable oil, this does not mean that it is natural since it then undergoes the same chemical process of sulphates (SO42-) by reaction of an alcohol with a sulfuric gas (sulfur trioxide which is a precursor of sulfuric acid and highly polluting).
The reason cationic surfactants such as GENAMİN BTMS CA are less irritating than their detergent cousins ​​like SLES and SES sulfates is that they are not ethoxylated (ethoxilation presents the risk of leaving traces of dioxane, a liquid ether colorless and odorless which may be irritating to the eyes and the respiratory system). As their charge is positive, they are also more stable components.

Is GENAMİN BTMS CA a hide-and-seek for dry and / or damaged hair?
This widespread expression of hideous misery has no scientific meaning, since hair is biologically dead material and has no possibility of being regenerated or repaired in the long term. All the care that we apply to it, whether of natural or chemical origin, is only temporary and is altered and / or evaporated after a few days, leaving the fiber bare again in its dry state. and / or initial damage. Conclusion: hair care is always a hideous misery or artificial "varnish" if you want to call it that, this is due to the very nature of the hair whose length when pushed is not renewed regardless of what it is. applied. Care must therefore always be repeated regularly (which is why the fear of accumulation does not appear to me to be well founded). GENAMİN BTMS CA has no drying power over time either as we can sometimes read, without any supporting evidence (no more than silicones or quats in general, the hair will become just dry as it was before). the application no more no less).

Conclusion
In conclusion, to answer the title question, GENAMİN BTMS CA is safe for your hair if you are looking to make it silky, shiny and manageable, with well defined curls.
Genamin BTMS CA is not recommended on the scalp and skin in general. Due to its chemical production method, Genamin BTMS CA pollutes and is toxic like quats in general to aquatic fauna.
I do not recommend playing the little chemist and incorporating it by yourself in your homemade hair recipes because of the proportions and conditions to be respected for it to be effective and without risk and interactions with other ingredients that you do not control. not if you are not an expert ...
