Inolex launches sustainable BTAC replacement for hair conditioning

Inolex has launched AminoSensyl Ultra MB, claimed to be a breakthrough amino lipid technology to deliver a 100% natural, sustainable replacement for behentrimonium chloride (BTAC) in hair conditioners.

AminoSensyl Ultra MB is an optimized ratio of the cationic amino lipid Brassicyl Valinate Esylate and Cetearyl Alcohol.

The biobased conditioning system provides deep moisturization and strengthening across multiple hair types, ranging from straight to coily, and hair states, ranging from healthy to damaged.

Designed with green chemistry principles, AminoSensyl Ultra MB is an eco-friendly, non-quat technology that is gentle to scalp, eyes, and skin and is readily biodegradable and safe for aquatic environments.

“This game-changing technology results from delivering Inolex’s proprietary amino lipid molecule from a precisely tuned lamellar liquid crystal (LC) matrix,” said Michael J. Fevola, PhD, VP Research & Development.

“The advanced cationic LC systems made possible with AminoSensyl Ultra MB enable formulators to develop robust conditioning products that deliver high performance sensory benefits without the need for silicones,” he added.

The ingredient is pre-neutralized, offering formulation flexibility for easy processing.
