ZLEY® RA is resorcinol acetate, also known as resorcinol monoacetate (CAS 102-29-4). Confirm the grade’s identity, assay, solubility and handling requirements in its current COA, TDS and SDS. A supplier’s suggested formulation range is not a legal maximum or evidence that every finished product is safe or effective.
For U.S. OTC acne drug claims, FDA Monograph M006 specifies 3% resorcinol monoacetate only in combination with 3–8% sulfur, together with the monograph’s other conditions. This does not amount to blanket FDA approval of an ingredient or a cosmetic formula. Read our resorcinol monoacetate and FDA M006 guide before planning claims for a target market, and ask ZLEY® for current grade documentation.

What is resorcinol acetate?
Resorcinol acetate is an ester derivative of resorcinol formed by acetylation. This modification alters the physicochemical properties of resorcinol, offering improved stability and formulation flexibility in cosmetic and functional applications.
What is resorcinol acetate used for?
Resorcinol acetate is used as a functional ingredient or intermediate in cosmetic and chemical formulations. Compared to free resorcinol, it may provide milder performance and better compatibility in certain product systems.
How is resorcinol acetate different from resorcinol?
Resorcinol acetate is an esterified form of resorcinol. This structural modification can reduce reactivity and irritation potential while maintaining related functional characteristics, making it more suitable for controlled formulation use.
Is resorcinol acetate suitable for sensitive skin?
Resorcinol acetate is generally considered milder than free resorcinol, but individual skin tolerance may vary. Patch testing is recommended when used in cosmetic formulations.
Is resorcinol acetate safe for cosmetic use?
Resorcinol acetate is considered safe for cosmetic use when formulated within recommended concentration limits and in compliance with applicable cosmetic regulations.
