Ultra-Glabridin (Pure White Powder, 98% Biotech Grade) is a high-purity Glabridin active supplied as a white to off-white powder for advanced brightening and tone-evening cosmetic systems.

This biotech-fermented format is designed to deliver the known cosmetic benefits associated with Glabridin while minimizing the yellow cast that can come with conventional extract-based licorice materials. In practical formulation terms, it is a useful option when you want strong Glabridin positioning without shifting the final formula toward a yellow or brown tone.

Because the active is supplied at very high purity, this material is typically used at low dosage. It fits best in premium serums, emulsions, gels, spot-care products, masks, and other complexion-focused systems where color control, low use level, and clean active loading matter.

Ultra-Glabridin is produced by biotechnology with isomer control: the Glabridin is confirmed as the R-isomer, which is the active form, and the S-isomer is controlled below 0.5%. This is not a racemic R/S isomer mixture; a 50:50 R/S material would deliver only about half, or less, of the active R-isomer at the same nominal Glabridin assay.

Product Description: Glabridin is one of the best-known brightening constituents associated with licorice. In cosmetic use, it is commonly positioned around control of uneven tone through tyrosinase-related melanin pathway modulation, together with antioxidant and soothing support that helps complexions exposed to environmental stress or post-inflammatory dullness. Current public positioning for Glabridin is driven mainly by mechanistic literature, in vitro / preclinical evidence, and accumulated formulation practice rather than abundant human cosmetic trials on this exact biotech grade, so formula claims should stay proportionate to that evidence level. For formulators, the main technical advantage of this grade is not only higher assay, but also the white-powder presentation: this helps when building clear or pale emulsions, brightening gels, and low-color serums where yellow extract tones would be undesirable. The material is suitable for formulas that target dullness, post-blemish tone irregularity, UV-stressed skin appearance, and general complexion-evening support. As with other high-potency lipophilic actives, performance depends on using an appropriate solvent or carrier system and protecting the formula from unnecessary heat and oxidation during processing.

Usage: Brightening serums, emulsions, lotions, cream, gel systems, masks, spot-care products, and other tone-evening skincare formulas where a low-color high-purity Glabridin active is preferred.

Mixing method:

- Add during cool-down or at the lowest practical processing temperature, preferably below 40°C.

- Pre-dissolve in ethanol, butylene glycol, or a compatible cosmetic co-solvent system before adding to the main batch. Do not add the neat powder directly into water and expect full dissolution.

- Best suited to systems where the final pH is kept around 3.5-6.5. Avoid strong oxidants, prolonged high heat, and unnecessary light exposure during manufacture and storage.

Usage rate: 0.01-0.05%

Typical starting point: around 0.02-0.03% for high-value brightening skincare, then optimize based on solvent system, color target, and total active package.

Product characteristics: White to off-white powder.

Solubility: Soluble in ethanol and butylene glycol systems; not water-soluble as a neat active.

Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct light, moisture, and strong oxidizing conditions.
