A review. Demalanizing agent are the agents which causes inhibition of synthesis of melanin and thus prevent hyperpigmentation on skin. They lighten the skin. They are used as single component or along with combinations of demalanizing agent also known as skin whitening agents. Commonly used examples are hydroquinone mequinol, Azelaic acid, monobenzone, tretinoin, ascorbic acid,etc. These agents are used in light induced pigmentations, heperimentations due to sun burn and melisma and chloasma of pregnancy. Certain agents are used in cosmetics, generally plant extracts which has less irritancy are used. The hyperpigmentation caused by skin whitening agents is not ‘curable’ and will persist for a lifetime. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2Reference of 103-16-2).
4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2) belongs to ethers. Esters typically have a pleasant smell; those of low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and are found in essential oils and pheromones. Because of their lack of hydrogen-bond-donating ability, esters do not self-associate. Consequently, esters are more volatile than carboxylic acids of similar molecular weight.Reference of 103-16-2
