What Is Licorice Root Alcohol-Free Extract?
Licorice Root Alcohol-Free Extract is an alcohol-free glycerin extract pressed from the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, delivered in glycerin, an alcohol-free humectant base that folds cleanly into the water phase. Supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, it gives supplement and beverage formulators a sweet, familiar botanical for alcohol-free liquid systems, with none of the ethanol that some family and pediatric-adjacent lines prefer to avoid.
Market Demand
Licorice root is one of the most widely traded botanicals in the world, spanning herbal supplements, natural sweetening, and traditional formulas, and interest in alcohol-free delivery keeps growing among brands building family-friendly, clean-label lines. A glycerin-based licorice extract carries that established demand into aqueous liquids without any ethanol on the label, and its familiar taste helps it earn shelf recognition.
Formulation Applications
The glycerin blends into aqueous supplement liquids, syrups, and flavor bases, and its natural sweetness makes it useful for masking bitter co-botanicals.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica has processed roots like this one at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York since 1972, using the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat method to preserve the root's Holistically Balanced set of naturally occurring constituents. Identity, microbial, and heavy-metal checks run in an onsite lab equipped with HPLC and ICP/MS, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available on request.
