Expert Verdict
Hindered phenolic antioxidant; generally considered low toxicity. Potential skin sensitizer at high concentrations. Well-established safety profile as a stabilizer in cosmetics and food-contact materials.. A hindered phenol (BHT-related structure) that inhibits oxygen-promoted oxidation and rancidity of oils and fats; protects formulation stability rather than providing direct skin benefit.
