Glabridin, derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra roots imported by Shaanxi Huatai Bio from Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, is a natural cosmetic ingredient. We strictly control quality parameters (e.g., pesticide residues) to meet new regulatory standards, aligning raw material specifications with finished product requirements.
As one of 101 FDA-approved food-medicinal extracts, glabridin inhibits tyrosinase activity for superior whitening and pigmentation control (7x more effective than SymWhite® 377 in vitro). It is versatile in aqueous/alcohol-based formulations and supports brands like Lancôme and Estée Lauder.
product efficacy
Glabridin has many effects and is praised as “Whitening Gold”. It can strongly resist bacteria, prevent inflammation, pigmentation and rough skin caused by ultraviolet rays. It can remove superoxide ions, inhibit hemolysis, highly inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and the activities of dopachrome tautomerase and DHICA oxidase. It is an excellent additive for whitening and freckle-removing cosmetics. It also has the ability to remove oxygen free radicals similar to SOD and vitamin E. At the same time, it has antioxidant and anti-atherosclerotic effects and also has certain effects of lowering blood lipid and blood pressure.
Key Application Scenarios
Whitening Serum
- Targeting melanogenesis inhibition through dual mechanisms (tyrosinase inhibition and α-MSH signaling blockade)
