whitener
Lightening agent additive
A whitener is any substance used to make something whiter or lighter in color.
In laundry, whiteners brighten fabrics; in coffee, whiteners substitute for cream or milk.
Teeth whiteners remove stains.
The word is functional rather than specific—it names by effect rather than composition: Add a whitener to prevent yellowing.
