(57) [Summary] [Structure] A method using a resorcinol derivative represented by the following general formula (I) for producing a cosmetic composition or a skin composition having a depigmenting action. [Chemical 1] {R 1 is a halogen atom or a group —C n H 2n —CO 2 R 4 (N is an integer of 1 to 5, and R 4 is H or C 1 to C 6 An alkyl group); R 2 represents H, a C 1 -C 12 alkyl group, a C 1 -C 4 hydroxyalkyl group, a formyl group or a carboxyl group; and R 3 represents H, C 1 -C 12 Represents an alkyl group, a C 1 -C 4 hydroxyalkyl group or a carboxyl group; provided that when R 2 ≠ H, R 3 = H and R 2 = H when R 3 ≠ H} [Effect] A composition having an excellent depigmenting effect when the above resorcinol derivative active compound is used for producing a cosmetic composition or a dermatological composition. You can get things. |
