About Resorcinol
Resorcinol or m-dihydroxy benzene is a white crystalline compound produced by melting aromatic resins with potassium hydroxide. The compound is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, but insoluble in chloroform and carbon disulphide. It also occurs naturally in Argan oil and Brazilwood extracts. The chemical is extensively used as an antiseptic and disinfectant, and for treating conditions such as suppurativa, hidradenitis, and psoriasis.
