High-Purity, Dual-Verified Active for Cosmetics, Nutraceuticals, Food & Pharma Applications

 

Licorice Extract Powder (Latin name: Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma Extractum; CAS#: 68797-35-3) is a premium multi-functional ingredient specifically developed for global B2B partners in the dietary supplement, functional food, beverage, cosmeceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. It is extracted from the roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (licorice), a widely recognized medicinal and culinary plant, via advanced purification processes to concentrate dipotassium glycyrrhizinate – its core bioactive compound.

 

Our Licorice Extract Powder features dual verification: ≥98.0% purity via UV and ≥65.0% via HPLC, with no artificial additives, fillers, or preservatives. The versatile formulation offers excellent water solubility, forming a clear, stable solution that retains bioactivity across diverse processing conditions (pH 4.0-8.0, heat up to 120℃ for short periods). As a globally trusted plant-based ingredient, it aligns with consumer demand for natural, multi-functional wellness, cosmetic, and food ingredients. 

 

In addition to standard plant extracts, we also specialize in supplying Liposomals in normal and Co-Loading types. The carriers have Sunflower and Soy lecithin with Grade A, B, and C to meet different customers' quality or price demands. Welcome to reach out to our sales team to know more details.

How to Choose a Professional Licorice Extract

 

1. Start with the ONLY metric that really matters: HPLC, not UV

Many suppliers advertise: "98% purity (UV)"

But UV = total absorbance (can be inflated)

What you actually need:

HPLC ≥65% (cosmetic/food)

HPLC ≥73% (pharmaceutical grade)

Rule: If a supplier cannot provide HPLC chromatograms → skip immediately

 

2. Match the product type to your application (most common mistake)

Different forms are NOT interchangeable:

For Cosmetics

Choose:

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate (water soluble)

Glabridin (oil-soluble or water-soluble version)

Avoid:

Crude licorice extract (unstable, dark color)

For Supplements

Choose:

Glycyrrhizic acid/glycyrrhizin

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (better tolerance)

For Food & Beverage

Choose:

Food-grade glycyrrhizin (sweetener type)

Check:

Taste profile (some batches are bitter)

Clarity in solution

 

3. Check solubility (this affects your production cost directly)

Ask the supplier:

Does it form a clear solution or a cloudy one?

Any sediment after 24h?

Why it matters:

Cloudy = reformulation cost

Sediment = customer complaints

 

4. Verify regulatory readiness

A professional supplier MUST provide:

  • COA (batch-specific)
  • HPLC chromatogram
  • Heavy metal test (ICP-MS)
  • Microbiological report
  • Non-GMO statement
  • Allergen statement

For higher-end markets:

  • Kosher / Halal
  • ISO22000 / HACCP
  • FDA compliance documentation

If documents are "generic templates," → red flag

 

5. Evaluate stability (often ignored, but causes failures)

Ask:

  1. pH stability range (should be 4–8)
  2. Heat resistance (at least short-term 100–120°C)
  3. Color change over time?

If the supplier cannot answer → not technical enough

 

6. Understand grade differences (avoid overpaying)

Grade HPLC Use Case
Cosmetic 65–75% Skin care
Food ~60–70% Beverage/sweetener
Pharmaceutical ≥73% High-end formulations

Tip: Don't use pharma grade for cosmetics → unnecessary cost

 

7. Ask the RIGHT commercial questions

Professional buyers always ask:

Monthly capacity?

Lead time for 500kg / 1 ton?

Batch consistency (COA history)?

Price stability over 6–12 months?

 

8. Look for formulation support

A strong supplier should help with:

  • Dosage recommendations
  • Compatibility (niacinamide, vitamin C, etc.)
  • Application examples
  • Stability advice

If they only send price → they are traders, not manufacturers

 

9. Check if they offer liposomal or advanced forms (for premium products)

Why it matters:

Higher bioavailability

Better marketing positioning

Higher margins

 

10. Final decision rule (simple but powerful)

Choose the supplier who gives:

  • Clear HPLC data
  • Stable, transparent solution
  • Complete regulatory documents
  • Real technical answers (not sales talk)
  • Consistent batch quality
  • NOT the lowest price.

 

Quick Buyer Shortcut

If you want a fast screening:

  1. Ask the supplier ONLY these 3 questions:
  2. Can you provide an HPLC chromatogram for this batch?
  3. Does it form a clear solution in water?
  4. Can you send the full COA + heavy metals + micro report?
  5. If any answer is weak → move on.
