Description

Glabridin is a key bioactive isoflavonoid compound primarily extracted from the root of the licorice plant (*Glycyrrhiza glabra*). This potent natural ingredient is highly valued for its significant skin-brightening and antioxidant properties, making it a cornerstone material in advanced cosmetic and nutraceutical formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplement industries seeking effective, natural active ingredients. Glabridin CAS NO 59870-68-7 is available in high-purity grades to meet stringent application requirements.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: A premier ingredient in formulations for skin whitening, brightening, and anti-aging serums and creams due to its potent inhibition of tyrosinase.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of therapeutic agents targeting inflammation, metabolic disorders, and neuroprotection.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into supplements for its antioxidant benefits and potential to support metabolic health.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Added to health-focused products as a natural antioxidant and functional component.
• Hair Care Products: Utilized in shampoos and treatments to help prevent UV-induced hair color fading and damage.
• Research & Development: Serves as a high-purity standard and reference material in analytical laboratories and life science research.

Quality Control

Our Glabridin is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for assay and related substances. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
