Hydroxyethyl Resorcinal
Industrial Applications
Hydroxyethyl Resorcinol (HER) is primarily used in cosmetics and personal care formulations as a skin-brightening and anti-aging active ingredient, owing to its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. It also finds application in specialty chemical synthesis and as an intermediate in dye and polymer production.
Physical Properties
