product detail
4-butylresorcinol is one of the stable derivatives of Resorcinol (1,3 dihydroxybenzene), which is also a tyrosinase inhibitor thanks to a similar structure (free OH groups in specific positions of the aromatic ring). Blocking one of the crucial enzymes in the melanin synthesis cascade lessens hyperpigmentation, blotches, and freckles.
Incorporated in skin care applications, 4-Butylresorcinol significantly reduces UV-induced forearm pigmentation. Preventing melanin production, it is a powerful skin-whitening agent that is much more stable and effective than conventional lightning ingredients. 4-Butylresorcinol rapidly penetrates deeper layers of the skin, exposing a uniform, brighter, and radiant complexion.
4-Butylresorcinol is a compound valued in skincare for its skin-lightening properties. It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, thus reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. Additionally, it acts as an antioxidant, protecting the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. Commonly found in topical formulations such as serums, creams, and spot treatments, 4-Butylresorcinol is suitable for addressing various pigmentation concerns, including melasma and sun-induced discoloration. Overall, this ingredient helps in achieving a brighter and more radiant complexion.
4-Butylresorcinol is absolutely safe, its whitening power being combined with a strong protective effect against H2O2-induced DNA damage and an anti-glycation property: a synergic action to improve the skin’s appearance. 4-Butylresorcinol was added to both liquid and solid soap formulations and showed its efficacy as skin lightening after only a few weeks of treatment.
