LICORICE HYDROGLYCERINATED ORGANIC EXTRACT

Organic Hydroglycerinated Licorice Extract — Bulk Cosmetic Ingredient

Organic hydroglycerinated licorice extract is a water-glycerin active derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra root, valued by cosmetic formulators for its brightening, soothing and antioxidant profile. This guide covers what the extract is, how it is obtained, and the main cosmetic applications where laboratories and independent formulators use it. Royal Bio supplies this ingredient in bulk to European cosmetic manufacturers, with technical documentation available on request for laboratory qualification.

What Is Organic Hydroglycerinated Licorice Extract?

Hydroglycerinated licorice extract is obtained by extracting organic licorice root in a water-glycerin base, a gentle process that preserves the plant's naturally occurring compounds without relying on aggressive solvents. The resulting liquid extract typically carries flavonoids, glycyrrhizic acid, polyphenols and natural antioxidants characteristic of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant.

For formulators, this profile translates into recognized soothing, brightening and skin-conditioning properties, making the extract a common choice in natural and organic-leaning cosmetic formulations across skincare and personal care lines.

Main Cosmetic Uses of Licorice Extract

Brightening formulations. Licorice extract is widely incorporated into serums, creams and complexion-correcting products where a naturally derived brightening active is required, often paired with complementary botanical extracts.

Soothing and calming skincare. Its calming profile makes it a fit for formulations targeting sensitive or reactive skin, including after-sun care, redness-reducing creams and gentle daily moisturizers.

Antioxidant support in emulsions. The polyphenol and flavonoid content contributes antioxidant activity within creams, lotions and serums, supporting formula stability and consumer-facing natural-origin claims.

Natural and organic cosmetic lines. Because it is derived from organic-certified raw material, the extract fits well into COSMOS-oriented or naturally positioned formulations where ingredient traceability and origin matter to the brand.
