    Product Description

    Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is a synthetic lipophilic antioxidant with the chemical formula C₁₁H₁₆O₂.  In cosmetics, BHA is primarily used as a preservative and stability enhancer, especially in oil-based formulations. It is soluble in fats and lipids, making it ideal for protecting unsaturated oils, waxes, and fatty acids from rancidity.
    Aogebio® delivers pharmaceutical-grade Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), a highly effective cosmetic antioxidant and preservative specially formulated to protect beauty products from oxidative degradation. Our 98.5% pure BHA provides superior stabilization for oil-based formulations, extending product shelf life while maintaining color and fragrance integrity.

    Key Benefits of Aogebio® BHA:
    Powerful Oxidation Protection - Prevents rancidity in sensitive oils and butters
    Enhanced Product Stability - Maintains formula efficacy in creams, lipsticks and serums
    Broad-Spectrum Compatibility - Works synergistically with BHT and vitamin E
