Monobenzone CAS#103-16-2

4-(Benzyloxy)phenol, additionally known as monobenzone and monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone (MBEH) is an natural chemical in the phenol household with chemical system C6H5CH2OC6H4OH. It is used as a topical drug for scientific depigmentation. Monobenzone takes place as a white, nearly tasteless crystalline powder, soluble in alcohol and virtually insoluble in water.
The topical utility of monobenzone in animals, will increase the excretion of melanin from the melanocytes. The equal motion is idea to be accountable for the depigmenting impact of the drug in humans.
