BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)

BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) is a powerful oil-soluble antioxidant used in cosmetics to protect oils and butters from going rancid. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the stability and shelf life of oil-based formulations like balms, serums, creams, and anhydrous products.

BHT does not offer direct skin benefits but is essential behind the scenes in preserving the quality and safety of your products over time.
