BIOXAN® – Natural Antioxidant Protection for Color Cosmetics
More information
Keep Your Colors Fresh, Stable, and Long-Lasting
Color cosmetics rely heavily on oils, waxes, pigments, and emollients that are naturally vulnerable to lipid oxidation. This degradation process can cause color shifts, off-odors, texture changes, reduced payoff, and ultimately a decline in consumer satisfaction. As brands move toward cleaner, plant-based, and high-performance formulations, ensuring oxidative stability becomes more essential than ever.
BIOXAN®, BTSA’s line of natural mixed tocopherols, offers a powerful and clean-label solution to protect color cosmetic formulations from oxidation—keeping products fresh, vibrant, and stable throughout their shelf life.
Why Lipid Oxidation Matters in Color Cosmetics
Lipid oxidation occurs when unsaturated oils, waxes, and butters react with oxygen, heat, or light. This is particularly relevant in color cosmetics such as:
- Foundations & liquid makeup
- Lipsticks & lip balms
- Creamy blushes & highlighters
- Eye shadows & creamy eye products
- Tinted balms & hybrid products
These formulations often contain natural lipids that are highly susceptible to oxidative degradation, leading to:
- Color fading or changes in shade fidelity
- Unpleasant off-odors
- Altered texture or phase separation
- Reduced performance and consumer appeal
Protecting these lipids is essential to maintain product quality, sensorial attributes, and brand reputation.
Natural Antioxidants: A Clean-Label Strategy for Stability
As cosmetic brands increase their use of natural oils and plant-based ingredients, the demand for natural antioxidant systems has grown. Natural tocopherols are highly effective at:
- Slowing down lipid oxidation
- Maintaining color integrity and freshness
- Enhancing texture retention
- Extending shelf life
- Protecting the overall sensory profile of the product
BIOXAN® provides a natural, label-friendly solution that aligns with consumer expectations for cleaner, safer, and more sustainable beauty.

BIOXAN® is BTSA’s premium range of natural mixed tocopherols extracted from non-GMO vegetable oils. Designed for cosmetic applications, BIOXAN® delivers high antioxidant performance, excellent compatibility, and easy incorporation into color cosmetic systems.
How BIOXAN® Works
Tocopherols act as radical scavengers, neutralizing the reactive species that initiate the oxidation process. By stabilizing the oil phase, BIOXAN® helps maintain product performance over time, even in formulations containing sensitive natural lipids.
