Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)
Definition
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a stabilizer that can also be found in cosmetics and moisturizers. It acts as an antioxidant – we use it to help maintain the properties and performance of a product as it is exposed to air. European and U.S. regulators have approved BHT for use in food. Some concerns have been raised over its use as a food additive; however, our products containing BHT are not intended for ingestion, so we feel that its use is acceptable.
