Product Description

1. Product Introduction

Our Glycyrrhetinic Acid is a high-quality refined active ingredient derived from premium natural licorice root through sophisticated purification and refining processes. Rich in high-purity glycyrrhetinic acid, licorice flavonoids, licorice polyphenols, natural active saponins and other beneficial active components, it delivers excellent effects of anti-inflammatory skin purification, soothing repair, anti-acne stabilization, brightening and skin evening, as well as natural physical conditioning value. Widely applied in beauty and skin care, food and beverage, dietary health, oral care and other industries, it has gained wide market recognition.

2. Active Ingredients

Glycyrrhetinic Acid and Licorice Flavonoids

The core active ingredients of glycyrrhetinic acid are high-purity natural glycyrrhetinic acid and licorice flavonoid compounds. These active substances are renowned for powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, redness-reducing soothing, barrier repair, antioxidant performance and rough acne-prone skin improvement, serving as the core functional components of glycyrrhetinic acid for skin care and health maintenance.

Glycyrrhetinic acid and licorice flavonoids are key natural active ingredients intensively studied in the industry. Studies have proven that these components can effectively neutralize free radicals on the skin surface and in the human body and inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators. Free radicals and inflammatory responses are the main causes of skin oxidative dullness, redness and sensitivity, recurring acne, rough texture and physical sub-health conditions, which can significantly improve multiple oxidative damages and skin inflammation problems.

Natural Polyphenols and Licorice Active Saponins

Glycyrrhetinic Acid also contains abundant natural polyphenols and licorice active saponins, featuring an elegant and pure natural licorice herbal fragrance. These ingredients not only endow the product with a mild and pure plant texture, but also deliver excellent functions of physical metabolic regulation, gentle nourishment, heat-clearing soothing and balanced conditioning. They gently nourish the skin and physical condition, bringing multiple comprehensive maintenance benefits.

3. Appearance and Properties

Color

Conventional-grade glycyrrhetinic acid appears off-white to pale yellow; high-purity grade presents bright white, and high-precision ultra-high-purity grade shows pure transparent white, free of impurities, agglomerations and black spots.

Form

This product is available in fine powder and concentrated liquid raw materials. The powder features uniform fineness and high purity with easy formulation operation, suitable for producing dietary supplements, solid functional foods, skin care and oral care powder raw materials. The liquid raw material has higher concentration, complete active retention and strong stability, perfectly adapting to deep processing scenarios requiring high concentration and high permeability.

Solubility

Conventional glycyrrhetinic acid powder has weak water solubility and exhibits excellent dispersion and dissolution effects in alcohol-based and oil-based systems. Supported by advanced purification and modification technology, water-soluble glycyrrhetinic acid has achieved stable mass production. It is compatible with various water-based production systems to fully meet diverse application needs of cosmetics, food, oral care and other industries.

4. Health Benefits

Antioxidant Protection

As mentioned above, core glycyrrhetinic acid, flavonoids and polyphenols in glycyrrhetinic acid possess strong antioxidant capacity. They can effectively eliminate free radicals in the body and on the skin, protect cells from oxidative damage, slow down the aging process of the body and skin, and reduce the risks of skin oxidative dullness, uneven skin tone, rough sagging and physical sub-health problems.

Anti-inflammatory and Soothing Properties

Multiple studies have confirmed that glycyrrhetinic acid has excellent anti-inflammatory, soothing and anti-acne repair effects. It can effectively relieve superficial skin redness and heat, sensitivity discomfort, acne inflammation, post-acne redness and rough texture. Meanwhile, it assists in regulating mild internal inflammation of the body, contributing greatly to skin calming and stabilization, damaged barrier repair, sensitive and acne-prone skin improvement and metabolic inflammation conditioning.

Body Metabolism and Physical & Mental Conditioning

The natural active ingredients of glycyrrhetinic acid exert positive regulatory effects on human metabolism and physical and mental status. They help adjust body circulation, relieve internal heat, alleviate mental distress and physical fatigue, stabilize bodily functions, and ameliorate sub-health conditions caused by irregular schedules, excessive internal heat and metabolic disorders.

Metabolic Maintenance and Health Care

Active saponins and polyphenols in glycyrrhetinic acid gently regulate human metabolism, balance body circulation, clear heat and harmonize physical conditions. They alleviate physical fatigue, dull complexion and physical heat discomfort caused by slow metabolism and internal heat accumulation, realizing mild comprehensive body conditioning and health maintenance.

5. Applications

Dietary Supplements

As a high-quality natural functional raw material in the dietary supplement industry, glycyrrhetinic acid can be processed into capsules, tablets, solid powders, oral liquids and other dietary products, providing consumers with a convenient health maintenance solution for antioxidant protection, heat-clearing soothing, physical conditioning and daily physical and mental care.

Food and Beverage Industry

In the food and beverage industry, glycyrrhetinic acid serves as a natural functional additive, antioxidant raw material and flavor regulator.

6. Quality Assurance

Raw Material Procurement

All our licorice raw materials are sourced from reliable suppliers complying with Good Agricultural Practices. Raw materials undergo strict manual and mechanical double screening. Only high-quality mature licorice roots with plump rhizomes, solid texture, sufficient active components, no mildew, no insect pests and no rotten impurities are selected to ensure high-quality raw materials, stable ingredients and consistent quality from the source.

Extraction Technology

Our optimized and upgraded purification and extraction process maximizes the enrichment and purification of core active ingredients including glycyrrhetinic acid, licorice flavonoids and polyphenols, with precise purity control. It completely retains their molecular structure and biological activity to avoid active loss. Advanced technologies such as supercritical fluid extraction, low-temperature refining and spray drying are flexibly adopted according to different product grade requirements to guarantee high purity, high activity and stable product quality.

Testing and Analysis

Each batch of glycyrrhetinic acid undergoes strict tests on active ingredient content, purity and overall quality. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is used to accurately detect the content of core components such as glycyrrhetinic acid and flavonoids to ensure compliance with standards and controllable purity. Meanwhile, rigorous safety tests on microorganisms, heavy metals and impurities are carried out to eliminate harmful contaminants and ensure full compliance with safety regulations.

7. Packaging and Storage

Packaging

Our glycyrrhetinic acid is packed in high-quality sealed containers to effectively isolate light, moisture and oxygen and prevent oxidative deactivation of active ingredients.
