Hexylresorcinol is an organic compound with anaesthetic, antiseptic and anthelmintic properties.[1]
It is available for use topically on small skin infections, or as an ingredient in throat lozenges. Under the Hexinol brand, hexylresorcinol is marketed as an anti-aging cream.
A study published in Chemical Research in Toxicology [2] 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.
In one study, 4-hexylresorcinol increased the shelf life of shrimp by reducing melanosis (black spots)[3].
