Description
Monobenzone is a topical depigmenting agent used to treat hyperpigmentation, such as various discolorations, age spots, and melanoma, with significant effects.

It is very mildly toxic and is usually made into an ointment or a rub. Monobenzone is a milky white crystalline powder; slightly soluble in water, very soluble in ethanol and benzene; soluble in acetone and alkali, insoluble in petroleum ether and hydrocarbon.
