Why this grade
Glabridin is one of the most cited natural tyrosinase inhibitors in dermatology literature — and one of the hardest to source at honest assay levels. Our 40% water-soluble dispersion runs on dedicated extraction slots, 7-10 days out.
We publish the glabridin assay, the residual glycyrrhizin (kept under 0.5% to avoid mineralocorticoid concerns), and the dispersion carrier on every COA. Use at 0.5-2% for brightening without the hydroquinone conversation.
Key benefits
- 40% glabridin assay by HPLC — verified, not inferred
- Residual glycyrrhizin < 0.5% — no mineralocorticoid baggage
- Water-soluble dispersion format — no solvent pre-mixing
- Photostability data on file for daylight-exposed formats
Technical specification
Ingredient profile
Glabridin is the brightening molecule isolated from licorice root, and this extract is standardized to 40%-plus glabridin by HPLC while glycyrrhizin is held under 0.5%. Keeping glycyrrhizin low matters: it is the compound behind licorice's taste and stickiness, and it is the one you do not want in a finished serum.
The root is grown under contract cultivation in Xinjiang and extracted under controlled conditions, so the batch delivers a repeatable brightening result at 0.2–1% use in serums, creams and post-procedure soothing formulas.
It is vegan, ECOCERT COSMOS-ready, and allergen-free, with pesticide and micro results on every batch COA. Custom glabridin ratios are available from three times MOQ on written specification.
