Description :
Overview of 4-Butylresorcinol
4-Butylresorcinol is a high-performance cosmetic active ingredient widely used in advanced skincare formulations for skin brightening and hyperpigmentation correction. It works by strongly inhibiting tyrosinase and related enzymes involved in melanin production, helping reduce dark spots, melasma, age spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone. Due to its high efficacy at low concentrations, it is commonly used in premium and dermatological skincare products.
It is typically supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is oil-soluble, making it suitable for incorporation into the oil phase of emulsions and serums. 4-Butylresorcinol is known for its fast action, long-lasting results, and good skin tolerance when used within recommended limits. It is often formulated with niacinamide, vitamin C derivatives, sunscreens, and moisturizing agents to enhance overall brightening performance and skin comfort.
