Bt-ehs is supplied in Indonesia by PT Bahtera Adi Jaya.
What is the recommended dosage for Bt-ehs in formulations?
The use level commonly referenced in the product's technical documents is 3–5% in sunscreen and skin-care preparations (regulatory maximum: 5% in China/EU/US, 6% in Canada, 10% in Japan). The final dosage still depends on the formulation system, so small-scale trials are recommended before mass production.
Are COA, MSDS, and technical support documentation available?
Yes. Every shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) matching the production batch. For other regulatory documents (e.g. halal certification or special specifications), please contact our sales team.
