4-Butylresorcinol

Synonyme: 4-Butyl-1,3-benzenediol; 4-n-Butylresorcinol; 4-Butyl-1,3-dihydroxybenzene; Rucinol

4-Butylresorcinol is a synthetic resorcinol derivative with a butyl chain at the 4-position of the benzene ring, appearing as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is manufactured through a multi-step organic synthesis and is commercially available at high purity, typically ≥99% as determined by HPLC. This compound is widely recognized in the personal care and pharmaceutical industries for its potent inhibitory activity against tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin biosynthesis.

With growing consumer demand for effective skin-brightening and hyperpigmentation treatments, 4-Butylresorcinol has become a preferred active ingredient in premium cosmetic formulations. Its ability to inhibit both tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) makes it a dual-action agent, offering formulators a robust tool for addressing uneven skin tone. Beyond cosmetics, it is also explored in pharmaceutical research for conditions related to melanin overproduction.
