I just recreated it! It has the perfect liquid consistency. I used warm brownie & hot fudge fragrance liquid germall plus in the place of optiphen. Also I used grapeseed oil as i did not have almond oil. My Grandson Jordan assisted me in this project. Awesome recipe Sis! Washed his coils and sprayed his hair. Plenty of slip and smells divine!

Thank you for sharing, I made the leave in spray with 2% BTMS, and it was a wrong move because it's not working with my spray bottle. I also made another but added hydrolyzed rice protein, and in place of Distilled Water, I used herbal tea, and it came out great. Thanks again for sharing.

BTMS 50 is great, I agree. In conditioners it is one of the BEST. However, alone as a sole emulsifier (cationic/ highly charged/ not as gentle as a nonionic) BTMS 50 has its limits. That is one reason chemists pair cationic surfactants (yes it is an emulsifier, but it is also a surfactant) with nonionic emulsifiers. They are generally only used in conditioning products for this reason. In a lotion, I personally find cationic emulsifiers have a heavy skin feel as compared to a lotion with anionic and non-ionic blends. Stabilizers are also helpful in emulsions and a slurry made with humectants such as glycerin and xanthan gum will improve stability. I have been making a few lotion formulations without these ingredients (gums or polymers) and am finding that a freeze thaw test makes many of them separate, so always check to see if they hold up under temperature extremes (such an easy test). Be very careful adding heat sensitive ingredients like antioxidants and preservatives while a product is molten (there are some who can handle the heat, but just double check). Awesome presentation Tara Lee! I love your content and channel very much. Pro tip: add BTMS 50 or phase B to hot water (Phase A) instead of trying to melt it (it can burn).

Thank u so much it’s so informative. I’m a beginner and what confuses me a lot recently is soapy situation. I’m using an emulsifying wax which INCI same as Rita Mulse SCG, it’s from TRI company in US. Still trying to figure why. Was going to try BTMS-50 tomorrow and fortunately read ur comment, will put on my notebook before working on next lotion😊
@JenSpice3 ай бұрын
@@Ching21286 Yes, different suppliers design their raw ingredients for a specific purpose. Check your supplier to see if it is suitable for the product you want to make. INCI is one of the most confusing things a beginner has to figure out. Just because the INCI is identical in a raw ingredient may not mean that they work the same. Have fun formulating!

Thank you for all of this plus the EXCELLENT tip on when to add it in formulations. I had no idea it could burn. Thank you. I've been reading on formulating for years for fun but now hope to actually create my own personal only products- not for sale.

I really enjoy BTMS-50 as a lotion emulsifier. It's silky and lingers on my skin. It wouldn't be my first pick for a light summer lotion, but it's great on parched, itchy hands and elbows.
@kalihowardАй бұрын
I agree. Heating phase a to at least 120° prevents the melted butters waxes and oils from solidifying when it hits room temperature. The formulation will be liquid sort of like milk, but it will thicken to the consistency whether it's a runny lotion or a thick body cream.

I tried the conditioner bar and loved it for my dry, dense kinky waist length afro-textured hair. Gets a little too soft for my climate so going to try shifting to harder butters next time. I also used optiphen plus since it contacts water (not sure about its ability to self preserve in this environment).

They aren't thr same ingredient at all so you would have to rework the formulation to match the right melting point and conditioning power. Specifically, cetearyl alcohol is used for 25 vs cetyl alcohol for btms 50.
