Kopcinol™ (n-Butyl Resorcinol) for Skin Lightening Formulations
Kopcinol (n-Butyl Resorcinol) is an ingredient that is used as a skin lightening agent in formulations. It can be used in serums, soaps, creams, lotions, face washes, and deodorants. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase and peroxidase/ H2O2. Tyrosinase enzymes present in plant and animal tissues catalyze the production of melanin and other pigments from tyrosine by oxidation. By inhibiting tyrosinase, Kopcinol (sometimes called 4-n-Butyl Resorcinol) regulates the color of the skin in problem areas. These problematic areas could be from the hyperpigmentary disorder Melasma. n-Butyl Resorcinol can work to help treat the skin's appearance of people that have Melasma. However, it also is an effective skin lightener and even-toner for normal skin as well.
