BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)

BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) is a highly effective antioxidant and preservative booster widely used in cosmetic, personal care, skincare, and hair care formulations. It helps protect oils and active ingredients from oxidation, extending the shelf life and maintaining the stability of cosmetic products.

This versatile cosmetic raw material is commonly added to creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, serums, lip care products, and oil-based formulations to prevent rancidity and improve product freshness over time.

BHT works by slowing down oxidative degradation caused by exposure to air, heat, and light, making it an essential ingredient in professional cosmetic manufacturing and DIY beauty formulations.
