8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question	Answer
What are the main active compounds found in your Glycyrrhiza Extract?	Glycyrrhiza Extract, commonly known as Licorice Root Extract, is rich in active constituents such as glabridin, glycyrrhizic acid, and licochalcone A. Shaanxi Huatai utilizes advanced botanical extraction technologies to preserve these potent compounds, making our extract a premium choice for skin brightening, soothing, and anti-aging cosmetics.
What are the primary cosmetic benefits of using Glycyrrhiza Extract in skincare formulations?	Its primary benefits include powerful tyrosinase inhibition for skin brightening, effective reduction of hyperpigmentation and dark spots, and profound anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. Global cosmetic formulators trust the Glycyrrhiza Extract from Shaanxi Huatai to develop high-performance products for sensitive skin and even-toned complexions.
Is your cosmetic grade Glycyrrhiza Extract water soluble or oil soluble?	Depending on the specific standardization grade and extraction process, Shaanxi Huatai supplies both water-soluble and oil-soluble forms of Glycyrrhiza Extract. This versatility allows formulators to easily incorporate our extracts into the aqueous phase of toners and lotions or the oil phase of emulsions and facial oils.
What standardization ratios or active purity levels do you supply for wholesale orders?	As a direct botanical manufacturer, Shaanxi Huatai offers a wide range of specifications, including standard concentration ratios like 10 to 1 and 20 to 1, as well as high-purity standardized assays (such as 10 percent to 90 percent active glabridin or glycyrrhizic acid) to meet your exact formulation requirements.
What is the recommended usage rate for Glycyrrhiza Extract in cosmetic products?	For general daily soothing and brightening maintenance, the recommended usage rate typically ranges from 0.5 to 2.0 percent. For specialized intensive dark spot correction or anti-inflammatory treatments, it can be used up to 5.0 percent. The technical formulation team at Shaanxi Huatai can provide precise dosage guidelines tailored to your project.
Will the natural color and odor of the extract affect my final cosmetic product?	Unprocessed licorice extracts can sometimes carry a characteristic brown color and distinct herbal scent. However, Shaanxi Huatai applies advanced decolorization and deodorization processes to ensure our cosmetic-grade extracts have an optimized color profile and mild odor, preventing any negative impact on your product’s sensory experience.
Do you provide the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and MSDS for wholesale bulk orders?	Absolute regulatory compliance and strict quality assurance are core standards at our manufacturing facility. Shaanxi Huatai provides comprehensive, batch-specific documentation for every wholesale shipment, including the Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and microbiological testing reports.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and are testing samples available?	To support independent cosmetic formulation labs and commercial manufacturing facilities alike, Shaanxi Huatai offers a highly accessible MOQ starting at just 1kg. We also gladly provide 10g to 50g free testing samples so your research team can thoroughly evaluate formulation compatibility before ordering in bulk.
