BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) is a synthetic antioxidant and preservative used in cosmetics to prevent oxidative degradation of oils and fats in formulations. It extends product shelf life by scavenging free radicals that cause rancidity. Some concerns exist regarding potential hormone disruption at high doses, but it is considered safe at cosmetic use levels by major regulatory bodies.
