A Highly Concentrated Natural Source for Oxidative Protection and Shelf-Life Extension
Licorice Antioxidant is a specialized extract from the licorice root, standardized to contain a minimum of 27 Percent (UV) active polyphenolic compounds. Provided as a brown powder, this ingredient is primarily used to stabilize and protect food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical formulas against oxidative degradation. Its high concentration and broad-spectrum antioxidant capacity make it a superior natural alternative to synthetic stabilizers.

For premium beauty brands, the “clean-label” movement is no longer optional—it is the standard. Yet, the removal of synthetic stabilizers like BHT and BHA often leads to rapid lipid rancidity, scent degradation, and loss of active efficacy. Our 27% Licorice Antioxidant bridges the gap between natural integrity and product shelf-life. Engineered for formulators who refuse to compromise, this potent, standardized bioactive provides superior oxidative protection, ensuring your high-end formulations remain pristine from the lab to the consumer’s vanity.
Precision Stabilization: Standardized at 27% active antioxidant content, this extract provides high-density free radical scavenging, preventing lipid peroxidation in delicate oil phases.
Extended Shelf-Life: Proven in comparative studies to significantly delay the onset of rancidity in volatile carrier oils, protecting your precious active ingredients (e.g., Vitamin C, Retinol, Omega fatty acids) from premature oxidation.
Clean-Label Efficacy: Offers a robust, high-ORAC value alternative to synthetic stabilizers, meeting the rigorous standards of global luxury markets and organic certifications.
Dual-Benefit Bioactivity: Beyond structural stabilization, its naturally occurring polyphenols impart secondary soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, adding “marketing-ready” benefits to your product’s ingredient deck.

Empower your R&D team with these strategic pairings designed to maintain formula integrity:
The “Oil-Stability” Shield: Combine with Tocopherol (Vitamin E). This synergistic duo creates a broad-spectrum stabilization system that protects both the oil phase and the active lipid-soluble ingredients from various oxidative pathways.
The “Anti-Aging Protection” Protocol: Integrate into formulas containing Retinol or Essential Oils. The Licorice Antioxidant acts as a “bodyguard,” preventing the degradation of these highly sensitive actives, thereby maintaining clinical efficacy throughout the product’s shelf life.
The “Clean SPF” Booster: Use in high-natural SPF formulations. It stabilizes sensitive botanical UV-filters and carrier oils, ensuring the product retains its protective properties even under environmental heat stress.
