Curator's Comment: The description was created based on several sources, including https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja01611a079

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol is a phenolic antioxidant, that has been used to protect cosmetics from oxidative degradation. 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol is used as a food additive, preservative in food packaging, animal feed, rubber, and petroleum products. Dietary administration of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol resulted in complete protection against the lung toxicity of butylated hydroxytoluene in mice.
