Butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) is an antioxidant for use in cosmetics and fragrance products, such as perfume.

Use

Butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) dissolves in DPG, alcohol, vegetable oil and the like, but not or hardly in water. When used in a product that mainly consists of water, you can first dissolve it in, for example, DPG and then use this mixture. The usual dose is 0.1%, or 1 gram per kilogram.

In perfumes it is best to dissolve the BHT in the mixture of fragrances (concentrate), it usually dissolves better in it than in alcohol. Many fragrances already contain BHT or another antioxidant.

Use it in products that are sensitive to oxygen from the air, such as perfumes, fragrances, creams (in the fat phase) and oily cosmetics.

De Hekserij does not sell products intended for use in foodstuffs or for other internal use. This product is NOT an exception. Dry, so DO NOT refrigerate. Store in a cool, dark place in a well-closed container. Keep out of reach of children.

Properties

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a grey-white powder, with a slight musky odor. It is more stable than many other used antioxidants such as tocopherol and therefore offers longer protection. It has a fairly long shelf life.
