Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question	Answer
What active compounds are available in your Licorice Root Extract, and what purities do you offer?	As an expert in botanical extraction, Shaanxi Huatai supplies multiple standardized licorice active components. Our core cosmetic ingredients include Glabridin (up to 90 percent purity), Licochalcone A, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, and Glycyrrhizic Acid, allowing formulators to choose the exact active needed for their specific skincare lines.
Is your Licorice Root Extract water soluble or oil soluble for cosmetic formulations?	The solubility depends on the specific active compound you select. For example, the Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate manufactured by Shaanxi Huatai is highly water soluble, while our high purity Glabridin is oil and alcohol soluble. We provide detailed formulation guidelines for each specific extract to ensure easy integration.
What are the primary cosmetic benefits of using Licorice Root Extract in skincare?	Licorice extracts are highly valued for their potent skin brightening, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. Formulators globally rely on the licorice active ingredients from Shaanxi Huatai to create effective hyperpigmentation serums, dark spot correctors, and sensitive skin relief products.
Will the extract change the color of my final cosmetic lotion or serum?	Unrefined licorice extracts can be dark brown, but Shaanxi Huatai utilizes advanced purification technology to produce highly refined, cosmetic grade powders that are off-white to pure white. This ensures our extracts will not negatively impact the color or sensory profile of your premium formulations.
What is the recommended usage rate for your licorice active ingredients?	The recommended dosage varies by the active compound and its purity. For example, our 40 percent Glabridin is typically used at 0.05 to 0.2 percent, while Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is used at 0.1 to 1.0 percent. The technical support team at Shaanxi Huatai will provide exact dosage recommendations based on your specific cosmetic formula.
