About
Licorice root supercritical CO₂ extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) delivers concentrated glabridin—the premier skin-brightening isoflavane responsible for licorice's cosmetic value. This dark amber, viscous oil presents the characteristic licorice aroma.
Functional Properties
Glabridin content is specified at >2%, providing exceptional potency for cosmetic applications. Critically, glycyrrhizic acid content is specified at <0.2%, eliminating the mineralocorticoid side effects associated with conventional licorice extracts while preserving target bioactivity. Glabridin's tyrosinase inhibition delivers skin-brightening properties without the irritation or photosensitivity of hydroquinone alternatives. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties support comprehensive skincare formulations.
Quality
Standardized to >2% glabridin by HPLC. Glycyrrhizic acid content <0.2% verified. Supercritical extraction ensures selective enrichment of lipophilic bioactives.
Applications
- Skin Brightening: Tyrosinase-inhibiting serums for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Anti-Aging: Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory skincare formulations
- Oral Care: Antimicrobial formulations against cariogenic bacteria
- Food: Natural sweetener and flavoring for confectionery applications
