Licorice Root Extract (PG)

Licorice Root Extract (PG) is a water-free, glycerin-free botanical extract made with licorice root and propylene glycol. This cosmetic formulator-grade extract is designed for skincare, body care, hair care, and cosmetic formulations that need a botanical ingredient associated with radiance-supporting, skin-conditioning, and comfort-focused cosmetic benefits.

Licorice root, botanically known as Glycyrrhiza glabra, is commonly used in cosmetic formulations for products focused on soft, smooth, refreshed, and well-cared-for-looking skin. It is naturally associated with botanical compounds such as glabridin, liquiritin, and flavonoids, making it a popular choice for facial serums, creams, lotions, gels, toners, body milks, masks, and botanical skincare formulations.

This extract is made without added water and without glycerin. Propylene glycol is used as the botanical extraction solvent and carrier, making this extract suitable for formulators who prefer PG-based botanical ingredients for easy incorporation into water-based, water-compatible, and emulsion-based cosmetic systems.

Licorice Root Extract (PG) is ideal for cosmetic formulators, DIY skincare makers, and small-batch product developers creating radiance-focused serums, lightweight gels, moisturizing creams, lotions, toners, body care products, and botanical cosmetic formulations.

This is a cosmetic raw ingredient for formulation use only. Do not apply directly to the skin undiluted.
