About

On an ingredient list it is written as BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene). It is synthetic.

In the Formula

It protects the formula. It guards the product against spoilage or oxidation across its shelf life.

The Evidence

Its safety for cosmetic use has been assessed by the expert panel review SCCS scientific opinion on Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) - SCCS/1636/21 (SCCS Members. Electronic address: SANTE-SCCS@ec.europa.eu, 2023, Regul Toxicol Pharmacol, PMID 36565917). We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

It is an antioxidant for the formula, protecting the oils in the product from going off. It is not there to do anything for your skin.
