Liquorice Root Water Sized for Studio and Bulk Cosmetic Production
The 1 liter format suits cosmetic labs, small-batch workshops and growing production lines that regularly prepare noticeable volumes of toners, emulsions and serums. This size is convenient for calculating recipes in industrial proportions, testing before placing a wholesale order and planning production without frequent reorders. The product belongs to the Hydrosols and Floral Waters category, which brings together plant water distillates known for their gentle action on skin and hair.
Licorice hydrosol is obtained through steam distillation of the root, which allows it to retain a natural complex of compounds responsible for evening out skin tone and calming irritation. Its main application lies in skincare formulations: facial toners, emulsions, creams, after-shave gels and products for sensitive or redness-prone skin. It is widely used in brightening and soothing formulas, where licorice is valued for its ability to work with pigmentation and post-acne marks. In color cosmetics, the product serves as a base for hydrating makeup primers and micellar compositions. Beyond cosmetics, the hydrosol is used in refreshing sprays, aromatic home waters and occasionally as a component in experimental food formulations where natural plant distillates are acceptable.
The product is introduced during the water phase of production, typically at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees to preserve volatile compounds. Dosage in finished formulas usually ranges from 20 to 100 percent of the water phase depending on the desired concentration of active properties. It blends well with other plant distillates: in complex toners it is often combined with chamomile hydrosol to enhance the calming effect, or with celandine hydrosol when developing formulas for problematic skin. For tired and dull complexions it pairs nicely with raspberry hydrosol, which contributes additional antioxidant properties.
The hydrosol is compatible with most emulsifiers, preservatives, plant extracts and active complexes used in cosmetic formulation. Mixing with strong acids without preliminary emulsion stability testing is not recommended. Store the product in a tightly closed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which helps preserve its properties throughout the shelf life. After opening, it is best used within the period specified by the manufacturer, maintaining cleanliness when drawing the product from the container.
