BTMS 25: This is a conditioning emulsifying ingredient that conditions and softens your hair

Cetyl Alcohol: Is a gentle fatty alcohol used as an emollient (moisturising ingredient), emulsifier, thickener, and carrying agent for other ingredients. It can be derived naturally, as in coconut fatty alcohol and is considered safe and effective for skin. A “fatty” alcohol like cetyl alcohol isn't drying or irritating. On the contrary, it's an emollient that helps the skin retain moisture. Cetyl alcohol is soothing for the skin and is one of the most non toxic skincare ingredients available. Not to be confused with more aggressive alcohols like isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that is gentle on the skin. Also, not to be confused with cetearyl alcohol (made from cetyl and stearyl alcohols)!

Cocamidopropyl Betaine: Works as a cleanser and conditioner, though it’s primarily a surfactant. Surfactants are ingredients that attract dirt and oil so that you can rinse them off of your skin or hair. Cocamidopropyl betaine is made of fatty acids derived from coconut oil and blended with other elements. Cocamidopropyl betaine contains coconut oil, which is hydrating. It's less drying than other surfactants. Cocamidopropyl betaine reduces the drying effects of harsher detergents in skin and hair care products.‌ Cocamidopropyl betaine makes products feel thicker and creamier. It's a thickening agent that adds viscosity to products. This makes them feel richer and makes them less likely to drip while you use them
