Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate
Versatile Grades (73%, 75%, 98% UV) for Targeted Applications
Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate (MAG) is the ammonium salt of Glycyrrhizic Acid, widely utilized for its powerful combination of anti-inflammatory properties and its role as a high-potency natural sweetener (about 150 times sweeter than sugar). Its availability in multiple standardized purities allows precise application in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food/flavoring industries.

1. Product Overview: The Multi-Functional Botanical Soother
Shaanxi Huatai Bio-fine Chemical Co. provides professional-grade Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate (MAG), a high-purity, water-soluble derivative of glycyrrhizic acid derived from licorice root. MAG serves as a dual-action powerhouse: it is a highly effective, natural sweetening agent capable of masking intense bitterness in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, and a potent anti-irritant used to mitigate inflammation and redness in sophisticated skincare formulations. Our tiered purity grades (73–75% and 98% UV) ensure that formulators have the precise potency required for their specific sensory and therapeutic goals.
Core Features & Primary Benefits:
-
Dual-Function Efficacy: Seamlessly bridges the gap between sensory modification (masking bitterness) and physiological treatment (soothing irritation).
-
Optimal Formulation Solubility: As a salt form, MAG offers superior water solubility compared to the parent acid, allowing for clear, stable aqueous and hydro-glycolic systems.
-
Versatile Potency Architecture: Scalable purity grades allow for cost-effective bulk production (73–75%) or high-precision pharmaceutical/high-end cosmetic applications (98%).
2. Technical Specifications & Quality Parameters
| Technical Attribute | Shaanxi Huatai Premium Standard | Competitive Advantage |
| Material Identity | Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate | Highly water-soluble licorice-root derivative. |
| Available Purities | 73%–75% or 98% (UV) | Tailored grades for specific budget and regulatory requirements. |
| Molecular Identity | Salt-form (MAG) | Enhanced solubility for rapid integration into syrups/serums. |
| Solubility Profile | High Water-Solubility | Ideal for clear solutions and high-viscosity liquid architectures. |
| Sensory Profile | Intense Sweetness | Neutralizes bitterness in vitamin/botanical complexes. |
3. Biological Mechanisms of Action
Our MAG optimizes consumer experience and skin health through two high-precision pathways:
| Action Pathway | Biological Impact |
| Sensory Masking | Acts as a high-intensity modifier that rounds out bitter flavor profiles, essential for pharmaceutical and botanical delivery systems. |
| Histamine-Inhibition Cascade | Directly interacts with inflammatory pathways to inhibit histamine release, providing immediate relief for reactive or sensitized skin. |
4. Formulation & Processing Directives
| Formulation Parameter | Recommendation | Application Note |
| Suggested Dosage | 0.01% – 1.0% | Functional dosage varies based on whether it is used as a sweetener or an active anti-irritant. |
| Processing Instructions | Aqueous Phase Integration | Highly water-soluble; can be added directly to the aqueous phase (cold or warm) during formulation. |
| pH Stability | Wide Window | Stable in neutral-to-slightly-acidic ranges; robust compatibility with most common cosmetic/pharma excipients. |
| Flavor/Sensory Synergy | Multi-Sweetener Pairing | Pairs optimally with other sweeteners to create a clean, complex, and rounded palate profile. |
5. Strategic Market Positioning & Ingredient Synergies
Commercial Positioning:
