The main functions of phenylethyl resorcinol in cosmetics and skin care products are whitening and freckle-removing, and it is an antioxidant. The risk coefficient is 1, so it is relatively safe and can be used safely. It generally has no effect on pregnant women, and phenylethyl resorcinol has no acne. This is commonly known as Xinfubai 377, and phenylethyl resorcinol has an excellent skin-whitening effect, it is one of the reported tyrosinase inhibitors with the highest activity, 22 times that of kojic acid; It can effectively inhibit the activity of B16V cells to synthesize melanin, which is 210 times that of kojic acid. It can improve uneven skin color and reduce skin coloring caused by ultraviolet radiation. At the same time, it is also an excellent antioxidant and has anti-wrinkle ability. Phenylethyl resorcinol is suitable for pigmented skin, oily skin, tolerant skin, and wrinkled skin.

Phenylethyl resorcinol can effectively reduce the production of melanin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase and antioxidation, and it has high safety. In addition, phenylethyl resorcinol is unstable under illumination, and its water solubility is not very good, and it is easy to chelate with metal ions, so it needs to be wrapped by liposomes or nano-liposomes to solve the shortcomings of poor water solubility and stability, and achieve the effect of being widely used in the field of cosmetics.

Whitening effect of phenylethyl resorcinol :

 

Phenylethyl resorcinol is an effective whitening ingredient, which has a strong antioxidant effect and strongly inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, thus reducing the production of melanin. The chemical name of phenylethyl resorcinol is 4-(1- phenylethyl) -1,3- hydroquinone, which is an effective component with excellent whitening effect, and it mainly achieves the purpose of whitening by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase. The existing research shows that phenylethyl resorcinol can effectively whiten skin when the dosage is above 0.5%, and it can also effectively resist oxidation and wrinkles. The limit of use in cosmetics is 0.5%.
Phenylethyl resorcinol is a synthetic ingredient. In fact, it is called "Symwhite 377". Perhaps everyone is familiar with this name. Many whitening products are based on "377". Although it was discovered late, it is a powerful whitening ingredient.
As a tyrosinase inhibitor, it is 22 times stronger than the kojic acid we introduced before and 50 times stronger than arbutin. In addition, it also antioxidant capacity that is better than vitamin E and vitamin C. It is precisely because of these two abilities that it is a powerful whitening ingredient. The highest concentration should not exceed 0.5%. In other countries, the concentration of phenylethyl resorcinol in cosmetics is between 1% and 3%. The reason why we recommend the low concentration is mainly due to the side effects. When using it, some people have serious contact dermatitis, allergies, and other problems, such as redness, itching, pain, and so on, and even aggravate pigmentation, so when using it, try to start with low-concentration products, as long as it can achieve the whitening effect, there is no need to choose a higher concentration.
