Description

Octadecyl Di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate is a synthetic antioxidant that protects cosmetic formulas from oxidation. Its main function is to prevent the deterioration of ingredients, especially fats, oils, and emollients, which can lose effectiveness or change in smell and color upon contact with oxygen. This component does not directly work on the skin, but acts within the formula, extending the shelf life of the cosmetic product.
