The home of SwiftCraftyMonkey! Join Susan as she obsesses about cosmetic chemistry and other things (some possibly related to monkeys). Often strange, occasionally useful, and always worth a stop as a point of interest on your journey through the Intertron.

Incroquat BTMS-50

Incroquat BTMS-50 (INCI: Behentrimonium methosulfate (and) cetyl alcohol (and) butylene glycol) is a cationic or positively charged emulsifier that creates lotions and hair conditioners really easily when we combine it with water and a preservative.

Learn more about this emulsifier in this post. 

Learn a lot more about this emulsifier in this post, the first of the Newbie Tuesday series in which we made all kinds of lotions, including hand & body lotions, body butters, and facial moisturizers.
