Description

Glycyrrhetinyl Stearate is a high-purity, semi-synthetic ester derived from glycyrrhetinic acid, a key bioactive component of licorice root. This compound is valued for its enhanced lipophilicity and stability, making it a superior functional ingredient for advanced cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, dermatological, and nutraceutical industries seeking to leverage the proven skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory properties of licorice in more stable, oil-soluble delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Used as a key functional ingredient in creams, serums, and lotions for its anti-irritant, soothing, and brightening properties.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Incorporated into ointments, gels, and medicated creams for the management of eczema, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
• Sun Care Products: Acts as a stabilizing and skin-conditioning agent in sunscreens and after-sun formulations.
• Premium Color Cosmetics: Enhances the skin compatibility and soothing profile of foundations, primers, and other makeup products.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Employed in lipid-based delivery systems for softgel capsules targeting internal wellness.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used in shampoos and conditioners to soothe the scalp and reduce irritation.
