What is 4-Butylresorcinol?

It is an antioxidant that is considered effective in influencing the formation of pigmentation, and therefore able to lighten the skin. It is a synthetic compound that is partially derived from natural lightening compounds found in scotch pine bark, and is considered a reliable whitening agent.

Function of 4-Butylresorcinol

According to studies when directly compared to B-Arbutin, Phenylethyl Resorcinol was shown to be over one hundred times as effective at lightening hair, and when tested in vivo on skin that had not been exposed to light, 0.5% concentrations of Phenylethyl Resorcinol proved to be more effective than 1.0% kojic acid.

Application of 4-Butylresorcinol

4-n-Butylresorcinol is a resorcinol derivative that inhibits both tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP It may be used to decrease skin irritation and is also known to inhibit melanin production. Its hypopigmenting action was first reported in 1995, and many following studies have documented its efficacy and safety in melasma treatment with the 0.1% cream, but there is paucity of clinical studies that used the 0.3% cream. The biochemical assay on inhibition of human tyrosinase activity has revealed the superiority of 4-n-butylresorcinol over other hypopigmenting agents. Many studies show good efficacy and safety in treating melisma. 4-Butylresorcinol is considered a potential Cytochrome P450 inhibitor. It can cause hypopigmentation due to its direct inhibition of tyrosinase.

Product performance

4-Butylresorcinol is an efficient skin whitening and brightening agent with the following effects: 1. Strong inhibitors of tyrosinase and peroxidase; 2. Effective skin whitening agent and skin toner;3. Effective whitening agent for pigmentation skin;4. Effective against chloasma (skin with excessive pigmentation when exposed to sunlight); 5. It is proved to have anti saccharification effect.

Product Application

In the three processes of melanin synthesis, 4-Butylresorcinol not only has an important inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity, but also has a synergistic effect on whitening activity.1. Before melanin synthesis, it interferes with the synthesis and glycosylation of tyrosinase to prevent the enzyme from being absorbed by melanosome.2. During the synthesis of melanin, it can inhibit the activity of enzyme and act as a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase and TRP1 enzyme, reducing the formation of by-product of melanin.3. After the synthesis of melanin, it can improve the degradation of tyrosinase, inhibit the transfer of melanosome to keratinocytes, and has the effect of light peeling due to the effect of fatty acids. This function is enhanced by the presence of fatty acids and regulates the degradation of tyrosinase.
