4-Butylresorcinol Dosage

Application

Primary Function & Mechanism

Typical Dosage / Concentration

Cosmetics & Skincare

Skin Lightening, Anti-hyperpigmentation, Brightening.
Mechanism: Potent competitive inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosinase, effectively blocking the key pathway of melanin (pigment) production.

0.3% - 0.5%
This is the standard effective and safe concentration range found in leave-on skincare products like serums, creams, and spot-treatment systems.

Pharmaceuticals (Topical)

Treatment of Melasma, Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), Age Spots.
Often formulated in combination with other actives like retinoids, vitamins, and other tyrosinase inhibitors for enhanced efficacy.

Typically within the 0.1% - 0.5% range.
Dosage in pharmaceutical or cosmeceutical-grade products is determined by clinical studies for specific conditions and is often under dermatological supervision.

Agriculture / Industrial

Acaricide (Mite Killer), Insecticide, Biocide.
Mechanism: Targets the nervous system or essential biological processes of specific pests.

Varies Widely.
Concentration is formulation-specific and significantly higher than cosmetic uses, typically ranging from 1% to 10% or more in commercial pesticide preparations.

Safty of 4-Butylresorcinol

product-605-273

The major global cosmetics regulatory agencies have conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 4-Butylresorcinol powder and concluded that it is safe as a cosmetic ingredient at limited concentrations.

The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China has stipulated that the maximum allowable concentration for its use in cosmetics is 0.5%.

European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS): After evaluation, it is considered safe to use up to 0.3% in face cream and up to 0.5% in body milk.

Other regions such as Japan and South Korea have also generally approved its use, with concentration limits between 0.3% and 0.5%.

These approvals are based on a large amount of scientific data, including skin irritancy, allergenicity, phototoxicity, and toxicology studies of long-term use.

4-butyl Resorcinol Acts to brighten the skin. with the following process

product-786-423

1.Reducing the activity of Tyrosinase, making it unable to produce pigment normally (inhibit tyrosinase, peroxidase).

2.binds to fatty acids under the skin so that the skin pigment cannot be moved to the skin layer.

3.Anti melasma.

4-Butylresorcinol Benefits

Firstly, it has a highly efficient and specific whitening effect. Its molecular structure is highly similar to that of tyrosinase substrate, which can accurately competitively inhibit the activity of the enzyme, strongly block melanin production from the source, and have significantly better whitening and spot lightening effects than traditional ingredients such as arbutin and vitamin C derivatives. It also has stable chemical properties and is not easily inactivated.

whitening effect

Secondly, good safety performance. At the concentration specified by regulations (≤ 0.5%), it has been evaluated by authoritative institutions to have low skin permeability, low systemic toxicity risk, no photosensitivity, and no increased risk of UV sensitivity. Although potentially irritating to some sensitive skin, the overall safety profile is superior to similar potent whitening ingredients, allowing it to be widely used in daily skincare products.

Applications of  4-Butylresorcinol powder

1.in the field of cosmetics

4-Butylresorcinol is the most core application direction. As an efficient tyrosinase inhibitor, 4-butylhydroquinone can directly block the melanin production path, and is widely added to whitening essence, spot lightening cream and high-end skin care products to effectively improve uneven skin color, fade spots and pockmarks. Its standard addition concentration is strictly controlled between 0.3% and 0.5%.

2.in the field of medicine

This compound is used to treat skin pigmentary diseases such as melasma and post inflammatory pigmentation. It is often prepared into cream or gel for external use, and used under the guidance of doctors. Its remarkable ability to fade black can achieve clinical therapeutic effects, and it has become a choice of external prescriptions for dermatology.

3.In the field of agricultural chemistry

The 4-Butylresorcinol powder is used as a acaricide and insecticide. By utilizing its neurotoxicity to some pests, it can effectively prevent and control mites and other agricultural pests, and is applied in the field of crop protection. However, its concentration and use are completely different from cosmetics, and mixing is strictly prohibited.
