Butylated Hydroxytoluene Cosmetic-Grade Antioxidant & Preservative
01
Product Description
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic lipophilic antioxidant with the chemical formula C₁₄H₂₂O. It is widely used in cosmetics as a preservative and stability enhancer, primarily due to its ability to prevent oxidative degradation of fatty acids, oils, and other organic compounds. BHT works by donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals, terminating chain reactions that cause rancidity and product spoilage. In cosmetics, it is often found in oil-based formulations, as it is soluble in fats and lipids, and is typically synthesized from p-cresol and isobutylene.

Our 99.5% pure BHT extends product shelf life by protecting oils, fats, and fragrances from rancidity, ensuring long-lasting freshness and efficacy.
