  • Opinions on BHT and Geogard Ultra

    BHT seems to be another one of those antioxidants which are blasted alongside BHA on the web. Is any of this warranted? Also, has anyone here had any experience with Geogard Ultra? Is it a reliable preservative system?

    No, it’s not warranted. It is perfectly fine and safe to use at cosmetic levels.
    I wouldn’t have faith in Geogard Ultra as I doubt it is generally reliable.

    Hi Perry - I hope you are doing well!  Can you explain why you don’t think Geogard Ultra would be reliable?  Lonza pitches it out as a broad spectrum preservative… I ask as I’m having challenges with an aloe gel right now that uses it (and did pass PET testing :-(   Thank you!
