Oxynex® 2004 is a combination of highly effective antioxidant butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) with ascorbyl palmitate and citric acid acting as synergists. Almost all fats and fatty oils have a limited shelf life. Apart from biological processes – caused by enzymes and microorganisms – the chemical action of oxygen, promoted by light, heat or traces of heavy metals, causes rancidity. To formulate high-quality, consistent products for your consumers and extend the shelf life of the fats and oils you use, we have developed Oxynex® antioxidant preparations. Oxynex® 2004 is a combination of highly effective antioxidant butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) with ascorbyl palmitate and citric acid acting as synergists. The optimal composition has been determined by extensive tests, and its antioxidative effect has been proven in practice. Some suggested applications for this product include lip stick, eye shadow and eye liner.
