Understanding BHT in Beauty Products

Let's have a quick chat about a not-so-friendly ingredient called Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) that might be lurking in your garden variety box store hair care products.


Butylated Hydroxytoluene, or BHT for short, is a synthetic antioxidant commonly used in various personal care products, including shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments. Its purpose is to prevent these products from spoiling or going bad too quickly. While it may seem like a helpful ingredient, it's crucial to know the potential risks it poses.

BHT may be associated with cancer. Studies have suggested that BHT could be a carcinogen, meaning it might increase the risk of cancer. This isn't something we want in our hair care routine, especially as we get older and become more mindful of our health.



Not only that, but BHT can also disrupt our endocrine system, which is responsible for regulating hormones in our bodies. When our hormones are out of balance, it can lead to various health issues, including disruptions in our hair growth and overall hair health.

As we approach World Cancer Day this February, it's the perfect time to reevaluate our hair care routine and opt for natural alternatives.


Natural hair care products are free from synthetic ingredients like BHT, reducing the risk of exposure to potentially harmful substances.


Look for hair care products that contain natural ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, argan oil, and shea butter. These ingredients can help nourish your hair, improve its health, and promote growth without the potential risks associated with synthetic antioxidants like BHT.


All of Nae Nae's Naturals products, from shampoos to conditioners and moisturizers, are BHT free and vegan friendly. Even better, our flagship product the Hair Boost is Handmade with 19 all natural essential oils and butters.


While BHT may seem like a harmless ingredient, it can have hidden dangers, including its potential link to cancer and endocrine disruption. Remember, your hair deserves the best care possible, and that includes using products that prioritize your well-being.

Have always loved your products!

I started using your products about four years ago, my hair grew like crazy. I had to keep coloring it to keep the gray out, but decided to go Natural, my gray came in beautifully, and my hair is still growing. Thank you Nae Nae.

Amazing Hair Boost!!!!!

Hair Boost cream or serum. It's doesn't matter which one you select they both work great. I've been using Hair Boost since losing my hair to chemo/radiation in 2020 and it has done wonders for me. I recommend it to everyone!!! Thx Donya D

I normally wear my hair in the two strands twist without or without hair added. My edges became so thin, my hair would tangle so much be so hard to untangle and I have tried many hair products to make my hair nice. I want it beautiful.
