What Is Licorice Root Butylene Glycol Extract?
Licorice Root Butylene Glycol Extract delivers the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a Mediterranean and Western Asian legume, in butylene glycol, a lightweight humectant carrier. Supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, it gives developers the sweet, recognizable licorice profile in a solubilized liquid form ready for measured dosing and easy incorporation into liquid systems. It is aimed at personal-care developers needing a clean, soluble licorice input that blends into the water phase without a dispersion step.
Market Demand
Both a flavor and a heritage botanical, licorice enjoys broad and durable demand. IMARC Group projects the global licorice extract market to grow at a 4.53% CAGR through 2033 across food, beverage, and supplement channels. A solubilized liquid extract gives brands a convenient way to carry that demand into liquid and functional formats without the dispersion steps a powder would require.
Formulation Applications
The butylene glycol carrier suits toners, essences, hydrating serums, and rinse-off systems where a clean, soluble licorice input is needed, and it blends readily into water-phase formulations. Licorice carries a long apothecary heritage, framed strictly as structure/function positioning, not a consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica draws this root at its Hauppauge, New York cGMP facility, FDA-inspected and family-owned since 1972, using the Bio-Chelated low-heat process to maintain a Holistically Balanced profile of naturally occurring constituents. An onsite quality lab performs HPLC, ICP/MS, microbial, and USP testing on every batch, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification can be provided.
