Licorice Flavonoids

A High-Purity Active Ingredient Focused on Whitening and Antioxidant Efficacy

This product is a highly refined fraction of Licorice Flavonoids (polyphenolic compounds), standardized to a minimum of 98 Percent (UV). Licorice Flavonoids are the primary polyphenolic actives in licorice, renowned for their potent ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity (whitening) and act as powerful free-radical scavengers (antioxidant). As a light brown powder, it is an oil-soluble active ingredient, making it ideal for the lipid phase and high-penetration premium cosmetic formulations.

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question	Answer
What are Licorice Flavonoids and what are their primary benefits in skincare?	Licorice Flavonoids are powerful bioactive compounds extracted from licorice roots, renowned for their exceptional skin-brightening, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. They effectively inhibit tyrosinase activity to reduce hyperpigmentation while calming irritated skin. Shaanxi Huatai manufactures high purity Licorice Flavonoids to help cosmetic brands develop advanced whitening, anti-aging, and soothing formulations.
What is the purity and appearance of your Licorice Flavonoids raw material?	Quality is our top priority at our manufacturing facility. Shaanxi Huatai supplies cosmetic grade Licorice Flavonoids with a guaranteed high active constituent purity. Our product appears as a characteristic brownish-yellow to pale yellow fine powder or liquid extract, ensuring maximum biological activity for your high-end cosmetic lines.
Are your Licorice Flavonoids water soluble, and how should they be formulated?	Licorice Flavonoids generally have limited solubility in pure water and perform best in ethanolic solutions, glycols, or appropriate cosmetic solvents. The technical formulation team at Shaanxi Huatai recommends pre-dissolving the active in compatible glycols before incorporating it into the heated oil phase or cool-down phase of your emulsions.
What is the recommended usage rate for Licorice Flavonoids in cosmetic products?	For daily skin-brightening serums, anti-spot creams, and soothing lotions, the recommended usage rate typically ranges from 0.05 to 0.5 percent due to their high potency. The technical support experts at Shaanxi Huatai can provide precise dosage guidelines tailored to your specific project requirements.
How do Licorice Flavonoids compare to single-molecule extracts like Glabridin in brightening formulations?	While Glabridin is a specific isolated compound, Licorice Flavonoids provide a broad spectrum of synergistic active molecules from the root that simultaneously target melanin production, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Shaanxi Huatai provides high purity active extracts ideal for multi-pathway whitening and protective skincare lines.
Can Licorice Flavonoids be combined with other active ingredients like Niacinamide, Vitamin C, or Alpha Arbutin?	Absolutely. Licorice Flavonoids work synergistically with a wide range of brightening and antioxidant actives. The formulation team at Shaanxi Huatai frequently assists clients in combining our Licorice Flavonoids with Niacinamide, Vitamin C, or Alpha Arbutin to create comprehensive, multi-pathway radiance complexes.
Do you provide the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and MSDS for wholesale bulk orders?	Absolute regulatory compliance and strict quality control are our core manufacturing standards. Shaanxi Huatai provides comprehensive, batch-specific documentation for every wholesale shipment, including the Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and detailed HPLC purity testing reports.
