DESCRIPTION OF BHT 

Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic antioxidant commonly used to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending the shelf life of foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Chemically, it is a lipophilic organic compound derived from phenol, and its primary function is to inhibit the autoxidation of unsaturated organic compounds. While it is effective in preserving the quality of products, BHT has raised health concerns due to potential links to carcinogenicity and endocrine disruption. Despite these concerns, it remains approved for use by various regulatory agencies, including the FDA and EFSA, though regulations and permissible levels vary internationally.

USES OF BHT

• Preservative:

  • BHT is used to stabilize and preserve the formulation by preventing the oxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending the product's shelf life.

• Antioxidant:

  • BHT helps protect the active ingredients in cosmetics from degradation caused by exposure to air, light, and heat, maintaining the product's efficacy.

• Color Protection:

  • It prevents discoloration of cosmetic products, ensuring that the original color and appearance of items like lipsticks and creams remain unchanged over time.

• Fragrance Stabilizer:

  • BHT is used to maintain the integrity of fragrances in perfumes and scented products, preventing the volatile compounds from breaking down and losing their scent.
