I purchased a 5lb bag of the Shay & Co version of BTMS 50 to test in my formulations. I was hoping it would be comparable to the BTMS 50 I purchase… I was very pleased with the results. This product is superior in every way. It performed beautifully and I will be purchasing this Shay & Co version from now on! Tested in Shampoo, conditioner and face mask formulations.

This is a great substitute for BTMS 50 which can be really expensive. Works great in my solid shampoo bars.
