Safty of 4-Butylresorcinol
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
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.
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.
