General description

4-Methoxyphenol belongs to the class of hydroquinone (HQ) derivatives. It is widely used as a skin whitening agent, because it can exert hypo-pigmenting effects. It also finds applications as a stabilizer for chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethyl cellulose, UV (ultraviolet) inhibitor, inhibitor for acrylic monomers, etc.

Application

4-Methoxyphenol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in cosmetic products using chromatography techniques.
