whiteners
Laundry brightening additives
Whiteners are substances that make things whiter or brighter.
The term most often refers to products added to coffee or tea as a substitute for milk or cream: I take my coffee with whiteners.
Whiteners also include laundry additives, tooth-bleaching agents, and cosmetic products designed to lighten skin tone.
