Natural white gold Glabridin water soluble plant extract/herbal extract
Glabridin is a kind of flavonoid active ingredient derived from licorice root. It is a common skin whitening ingredient. Only 1g Glabridin can be extracted from per 500kg licorice root. And its whitening effect is 1000 times that of vitamin C. Therefore, it also enjoys the name of "Whitening Gold". Glabridin, as a major ingredient of licorice for skin, is mild and non-irritating.
Glabridin is recognized as a safe and scientific whitening cosmetic ingredient.
As a natural whitening ingredient, the skin-whitening mechanism of Glabridin mainly includes:
Moreover, through these synergistic effects, it effectively prevents the polymerization of 5, 6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and the production of dopachrome. Thereby Glabridin can disturb and hinder the formation and transport of melanin; and then it inhibits and reduces pigmentation so as to achieve whitening skin effect.
The problem of Glabridin being difficult to dissolve, absorb and utilize has been solved.
The water-soluble Glabridin produced is white powder with excellent water solubility and stable solution, which satisfies the application of customers in cosmetics products.
Available Specifications: 98%, 90%, 40%, 10%, 5% Glabridin, and water soluble 10% Glabridin to meet different requirements.
