What Is Licorice Root Zea-Botanicals® Liquid Extract?
Licorice Root Zea-Botanicals® Liquid Extract is a liquid extract of the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a legume of southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and Western Asia, carried in Zemea, a plant-derived, renewable propanediol. Supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, it gives cosmetic developers one of the most familiar names in botanical skincare in a clean, water-compatible base.
Market Demand
Licorice root is a long-established fixture of facial care, valued for its heritage and its formulation flexibility across toners, serums, and eye formulas. As clean-beauty decks move toward renewable carriers, a Zemea-based licorice extract keeps a familiar ingredient while upgrading the base.
Formulation Applications
The liquid disperses into toners, serums, eye formulas, masks, and lightweight lotions, working in the water phase under cold or moderate heat and layering with other water-soluble botanicals. Positioning stays with format, the plant-derived carrier, and licorice's standing as a recognized cosmetic botanical, kept to structure/function language.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica has extracted botanicals since 1972 at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, drawing this root with the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat method to hold a Holistically Balanced profile of naturally occurring constituents. Every lot passes HPLC, ICP/MS, microbial, and USP testing in an onsite lab, with Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification available on request.
