Licorice Extract Concentrate 1 L

Licorice Concentrate: A Versatile Raw Material for Skincare, Beverages and Wellness Formulas

Licorice root has a long history of traditional use across many cultures, and today its concentrated extract is a sought-after ingredient across several industrial sectors. The strongest global demand comes from the skincare manufacturing industry, where glycyrrhizic acid and flavonoids found in licorice are valued for evening out skin tone, calming irritation and supporting the skin's protective barrier. This is why formulators add the extract to serums, emulsions, toners and products designed for sensitive skin. This item belongs to the plant extracts concentrates wholesale category, which brings together botanical extracts for developing custom formulations, and the 1 liter packaging suits both small-batch studio production and extended lab trials before scaling up a product line.

Beyond skincare, licorice concentrate is widely used in the food industry as a natural flavoring and sweetening component in confectionery, soft drinks, herbal syrups and tea blends. In the pharmaceutical sector, the extract is traditionally included in formulations intended to soothe mucous membranes and in complex botanical compositions. Another notable application is the production of functional beverages and dietary supplements, where the natural saponins and polysaccharides in the root contribute to its distinctive flavor profile.

In skincare formulations, licorice extract pairs well with calming and brightening ingredients, and formulators often combine it with other botanical extracts to strengthen multi-component recipes. In toning and restorative blends, it can be introduced alongside lilac extract concentrate, which adds a supporting toning effect, or with elecampane extract concentrate, known for its soothing properties on irritation-prone skin. In cleansing and complex antioxidant formulas, it is often combined with garlic extract concentrate, which contributes a pronounced natural antioxidant component to the recipe.

Recommended dosage of the concentrate in cosmetic emulsions and serums ranges from 1 to 5 percent of the total formula weight, while toners and lotions can tolerate up to 10 percent depending on the desired intensity. The extract should be introduced during the water phase at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius to preserve the activity of the natural compounds — avoid heating beyond this threshold, since higher temperatures degrade part of the biologically active substances. In food applications, dosage is usually adjusted individually within a range of 0.5 to 3 percent depending on the desired flavor intensity.

Store the concentrate in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight, in a cool place at room temperature without sudden fluctuations. Once opened, use the product within a reasonable timeframe and avoid letting moisture enter the container, so the formula remains stable throughout its shelf life.
