Licorice Root Extract

The Broad-Spectrum Botanical Powerhouse for Comprehensive Skin Protection

Licorice Root Extract, derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra, is a foundational cosmetic grade active known for its multi-faceted benefits. By utilizing a full-spectrum extraction process, we preserve a diverse array of bioactive compounds—including Glycyrrhizin, Flavonoids, and Coumarins—offering a “broad-spectrum” approach to skincare that addresses inflammation, oxidative stress, and uneven skin tone in one versatile ingredient.

High-Purity Licorice Active Fractions: Farnesol-Free Soothing & Brightening

Formulating dermatological skincare requires multi-target repair actives that inhibit inflammation and melanogenesis without triggering secondary sensitization or formulation discoloration. Manufactured by Shaanxi Huatai Bio-Fine Chemicals Co., our Cosmetic-Grade Licorice derivatives (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) are rigorously purified to remove crude botanical pigments and impurities. Engineered to maintain a strict 100% farnesol-free profile, these standardized active fractions deliver a robust biological defense system, modulating epidermal stress responses to restore a calm, radiant complexion.

Clinical Efficacy & Mechanism of Action (MoA)

  • Inflammatory Modulation: Clinically documented to decrease key epidermal sensitivity markers by 40% within a 48-hour observation window, rapidly mitigating environmental and chemical stress.

  • Melanin Regulation: Demonstrates significant, visible improvements in overall skin clarity, radiance, and hyperpigmentation reduction through sustained tyrosinase inhibition over a 4-week testing protocol.

Active Component Selection Guide To eliminate manufacturing friction and the discoloration issues associated with crude extracts, we isolate specific licorice compounds to suit precise formulation environments:

Active ComponentINCI NomenclatureSolubility ProfilePrimary Mechanism & Application
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (DPG)Dipotassium GlycyrrhizateWater-SolubleHigh-potency anti-inflammatory; ideal for clear toners, SOS serums, and post-procedure hydrogels.
Glabridin (40% – 90%)GlabridinOil & Glycol-SolublePowerful tyrosinase inhibitor; specific for premium dark-spot correctors and brightening emulsions.
Licochalcone AGlycyrrhiza Inflata Root ExtractOil-SolubleSuperior antioxidant and erythema reduction; targets rosacea and UV-induced redness.

Formulation Directives & Synergistic Matrices These active fractions integrate seamlessly into complex formulations without compromising the aesthetic, color, or fragrance of the final emulsion.

Target ApplicationCompanion Actives & Mechanistic Synergy
Rapid Erythema ReliefLicorice Actives + Allantoin: Combines targeted inflammatory suppression with water-soluble cellular micro-trauma healing to instantly soothe hyper-reactive skin.
SOS Barrier HydrationLicorice Actives + Panthenol: Panthenol floods the stratum corneum with deep hydration, creating an optimized, non-reactive environment for licorice bioactives to neutralize free radicals.
Structural BrighteningLicorice Actives + Ceramide NP: Halts internal inflammatory signals and melanin synthesis, while Ceramide NP physically reconstructs the depleted surface lipid cement for resilient defense.
