What is
BHA
Butylated hydroxyanisole
A stabilizer used in many personal care products and foods. Acts as an antioxidant by maintaining the stability of oil, fats and active ingredients such as vitamins.
Origin
It is a chemically synthesized ingredient.
Consumer concerns and what we know
BHA is associated with reproductive dysfunction, increased cancer risk – including breast and prostate – and a range of other chronic or irreversible health problems.
The European Commission included BHA in an endocrine disruptor priority list to gain more scientific data for future assessment.
It is listed as a known carcinogen under California's Proposition 65.
Our stance
We do not use BHA due to our safety criteria.
