Hexylresorcinol is an organic compound with local anaesthetic, antiseptic and anthelmintic properties. It is available for use topically on small skin infections, or as an ingredient in throat lozenges. Johnson & Johnson markets hexylresorcinol in its Neutrogena and RoC skincare products as an anti-aging cream. A study published in ''Chemical Research in Toxicology'' 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). In mice with cancer, 4-hexylresorcinol inhibited NF-κB and extended their survival rate. == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hexylresorcinol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
