CAS No.18979-61-8 Butylresorcinol
A Powerful and Safe Whitening & Skin-lightening Agent
4-Butylresorcinol is a whitening and skin lightening agent with unique characteristics in terms of efficacy and safety on the skin.
Hyperpigmentation is due to melanin accumulation, which can occur because of aging or disorders like melasma. The key regulator of melanin production is the enzime tyrosinase, and therefore this enzime is the most prominent target for all the whitening agents.
