Clinically proven to reduce skin sensitivity markers by 40% within 48 hours, while delivering high-performance, multi-pathway anti-inflammatory soothing to rapidly neutralize erythema and restore skin barrier equilibrium.

In the advanced landscape of dermatological soothing and clinical skin repair, delivering standardized, reliable anti-inflammatory efficacy without triggering allergic reactivity or formula instability is the ultimate formulation challenge.

Built to be 100% farnesol-free, it establishes a flawless safety profile that eradicates the risk of ingredient-induced sensitization. By providing a standardized, performance-driven dose of glycyrrhizic acid, this ultra-pure botanical active provides professional-grade inflammation suppression and tissue conditioning for even the most hyper-reactive, compromised skin.

Our highly purified 5% Licorice Extract is engineered for superior handling and standardized activity, allowing for flawless incorporation into a wide variety of cosmetic systems, from aqueous-based serums to emulsified creams. It offers exceptional purity, ensuring your R&D teams can deliver consistent, reliable soothing results across large-scale productions without the volatility or batch-to-batch variation common in standard, non-standardized botanical extracts. Its reliable profile ensures it integrates seamlessly into your manufacturing workflow without compromising your processing efficiency.

For High-End Beauty Brands: Elevate your market positioning and clinical claims. This ultra-pure, standardized botanical active is the signature choice for strict “Clean Beauty” mandates and highly tolerable “SOS Emergency Repair” formulations. Empower your brand to market “Professional-Grade Anti-Inflammatory Defense,” “Barrier Fortification,” and “Botanical Calming” without the risks linked to synthetic irritants.

Ready-to-Use Solutions: The Golden Synergies

Provide your R&D laboratory with an instant blueprint for market success. Our Licorice Extract acts as a supreme biological soothing engine, protecting and amplifying the restorative efficacy of companion actives:

  • Licorice + Allantoin: The ultimate “Reactive Skin” clearing matrix. Combines the anti-inflammatory power of glycyrrhizic acid with the water-soluble wound-healing properties of Allantoin to rapidly resolve surface redness, calm irritation, and restore equilibrium to hyper-reactive skin.

  • Licorice + Panthenol: A comprehensive “SOS Barrier Rescue” and calming system. Panthenol floods the stratum corneum with deep, targeted hydration, creating a healthy, non-reactive environment that allows the Licorice extract to deeply penetrate and inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes without triggering tightness or reactivity.

  • Licorice + Ceramide NP: The absolute structural longevity and “Clean Beauty Defense” complex. While the Licorice extract works fundamentally from within to suppress inflammatory cascades, Ceramide NP safely and physically rebuilds the skin’s depleted lipid cement on the surface, ensuring a resilient, calm, and perfectly defended skin barrier.
