New benzene derivative compd. and cosmetic composition using the same

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel benzenediol derivative compound exhibiting excellent whitening activity by strong inhibition of melanogenesis, and to provide a composition for skin whitening containing the same.SOLUTION: A benzenediol derivative for skin whitening represented by a general formula (I) is provided, where A is derived from an aromatic compound, C1 and C2 are derived from a cyclic compound in which two hydroxy groups are each bound at either position 1 and position 3 (meta-position) or position 1 and position 4 (para-position), R1 and R2 are linear or branched saturated or unsaturated acyl groups, and R3, R4, R5 and R6 are each at least one substituent independently selected from a group consisting of a hydrogen, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an acyl group, a hydroxy group, a vinyl group, a nitrile group, a carboxyaldehyde group and an aldehyde group.
