# BHT Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/bht The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the Netherlands. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) works to protect the skin with remarkably low dermal penetration and systemic exposure compared to oral administration, safely yielding clear, healthy-looking results at concentrations ranging from 0.0002% to 0.5% in cosmetic formulations. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and it commonly comes in light [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum). Finally, it fits easily into a daily routine because it layers smoothly. [International Journal of Toxicology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12396675/) This page shows BHT products with a Lovi page.
