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

Q1: What is the primary mechanism of action for Licorice Flavonoids?

A: The main mechanism is dual: inhibition of the tyrosinase enzyme and powerful scavenging of free radicals, achieving brightening and antioxidant protection.

Q2: Why is the powder light brown instead of pure white?

A: Flavonoids, as natural polyphenols, inherently carry a light yellow or light brown hue. This color is typical for a high-purity natural extract and does not compromise efficacy.

Q3: Is Licorice Flavonoids water-soluble or oil-soluble?

A: It is oil-soluble, which makes it highly effective for skin absorption and integration into oil phases or emulsified systems.
