4-Octylresorcinol, with the CAS number 6565-70-4, is an organic compound belonging to the class of resorcinols, which are characterized by their dihydroxybenzene structure. This compound features an octyl group, which is an eight-carbon alkyl chain, attached to the resorcinol structure, enhancing its hydrophobic properties. 4-Octylresorcinol is known for its antioxidant and skin-lightening properties, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetic formulations, particularly in products aimed at reducing hyperpigmentation and improving skin tone. It exhibits good solubility in organic solvents and is relatively stable under normal conditions. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and materials science, due to its ability to inhibit certain enzymes and its effectiveness in UV protection. Safety assessments indicate that it is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics, although, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care to avoid potential skin irritation or allergic reactions.

4-Octylbenzene-1,3-diol is a compound that has been extracted from the bark of Phellodendron amurense. The extract has been used in traditional Asian medicine and more recently as a sunscreen ingredient. It is thought to stabilize the structure of the skin and prevent sunburn. 4-Octylbenzene-1,3-diol is also present in chicory and may have a role in preventing symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. Clinical studies have shown that 4-octylbenzene-1,3-diol can prevent UVB induced erythema and sunburn cells in mice. This compound also has antioxidant properties, which may be due to its ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation.
