Hexylresorcinol is a chemical compound with anaesthetic, antiseptic and antihelmintic properties.
It can be used topically on small skin infections, or as an ingredient in throat lozenges. In vivo studies conducted on Synovea HR Hexylresorcinol by Sytheon in January 2007 have shown that it has the same lightening effect as 2% hydroquinone over an 8 week period.
An ingredient in Strepsils Extra (but not Strepsils Original) and, as a 0,1% solution, it is the active ingredient in S.T.37, Topical Antiseptic/Oral Pain Reliever.
A study published in Chemical Research in Toxicology in March 2009 shows that 4-hexylresorcinol used as a food additive (E-586) exhibits some estrogenic activity, i.e. resembles action of the female sex hormone estrogen.
