Behentrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound which is naturally derived and acts as a conditioning, detangling & emulsifying agent in the most conscious hair conditioning products in today's landscape - due to it proving itself mild & safe, even for sensitive skin and scalp.

It has mild antimicrobial properties as well as being antistatic.

While it isn't a silicone, behentrimonium chloride provides a safe & environmentally friendly alternative without the buildup associated with silicones on the hair. It's a more natural alternative for people looking to avoid synthetic ingredients.

Since silicones are synthetic polymers (plastics) they do not break down readily in the environment and can clog the pores & hair cuticle, preventing natural & beneficial actives from from penetrating - more importantly, coating the hair and skin in known toxins.

Unlike it's above alternative, Behentrimonium Chloride comes without concern around its effect on hormonal balance, or potential endocrine disruption.

Derived from oils such as rapeseed & canola, behentrimonium chloride is created by chemically modifying fatty acids through a quaternization reaction, to form a positively charged quaternary ammonium compound, enhancing its conditioning and detangling properties in hair care products.
