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.

Are your premium botanical oils turning rancid before their expiration date, or are synthetic stabilizers like BHT and BHA compromising your clean-label claims? For global procurement directors and senior cosmetic formulators, preventing lipid peroxidation without relying on controversial artificial preservatives is a major formulating hurdle. Meet your ultimate natural stabilizer: 27% Licorice Antioxidant. Packed with a potent concentration of polyphenols and flavonoids, this botanical powerhouse intercepts free radicals, dramatically extends the shelf life of sensitive formulations, and allows your brand to transition to a true Clean Beauty standard.
In the realm of formulation stability, measurable protection is everything. We lead with verifiable laboratory data to guarantee the longevity of your products:
Standardized Potency (≥ 27% UV): Delivers a rigorously standardized, highly concentrated dose of active antioxidant compounds, ensuring consistent, batch-to-batch protective power.
Superior ORAC & DPPH Performance: In vitro assays demonstrate a high free radical scavenging capacity that rivals or exceeds traditional synthetic stabilizers, effectively neutralizing the oxidative stress that degrades active ingredients.
Proven Lipid Peroxidation Delay: Stability studies confirm its exceptional efficacy in delaying the onset of rancidity in various lipid systems, protecting essential oils, omega fatty acids, and fragile vitamins from premature breakdown.
For Senior Formulators: Extreme Formulation Compatibility
Achieve uncompromising stability across your entire product line. This 27% Licorice Antioxidant provides extreme formulation compatibility. It can be directly integrated into the aqueous phase or, for superior lipid protection, pre-dispersed in a small volume of carrier oil. It remains exceptionally stable under normal processing temperatures, actively synergizing with your existing preservative systems to boost overall product integrity. At typical low inclusion rates (0.02% – 0.5%), its brown powder format has a negligible color impact in opaque or tinted formulations.
For Brand Procurement: The Clean Beauty Top Choice
As a dedicated manufacturer of high-purity active ingredients, Shaanxi Huatai Bio-Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. understands that your marketing narrative is built on the ingredients you source. This natural extract allows you to completely replace controversial synthetic antioxidants (BHT, BHA) with a recognizable, botanical alternative. Furthermore, it delivers a dual benefit: robust oxidative stability combined with the inherent mild soothing and anti-inflammatory properties of licorice root, elevating the premium positioning of your functional cosmetics and nutraceuticals.

Maximize the lifespan and efficacy of your R&D projects with these targeted stabilization strategies:
The Botanical Oil Preserver: Combine 27% Licorice Antioxidant + Precious Carrier Oils (e.g., Rosehip, Squalane, Sea Buckthorn). Pre-disperse the powder into the oil phase to aggressively halt lipid peroxidation, keeping premium facial oils fresh and odor-free for months longer.
The Active Vitamin Stabilizer: Pair 27% Licorice Antioxidant + Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) or Retinol. Utilize the potent free-radical scavenging ability of the licorice polyphenols to protect these highly unstable brightening and anti-aging actives from premature oxidation in water-based or emulsion serums.
The Enhanced SPF Shield: Incorporate 27% Licorice Antioxidant + UV Filters in sun care products. It not only stabilizes the formula matrix but actively mitigates the oxidative stress and free radical damage triggered by UV exposure on the skin.
