Glabridin is an active isoflavanone compound naturally present in licorice root ( Glycyrrhiza glabra ). It is widely used for its antioxidant, skin-lightening (tyrosinase inhibitory) and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a strategic ingredient in:
- Cosmetic formulations for depigmenting or anti-aging purposes
- Food supplements dedicated to skin beauty or digestive comfort
- Standardized licorice extracts for nutraceutical or dermatological applications
Dosage objectives

- Check the conformity of cosmetic or nutraceutical products for lightening purposes
- Accurately quantify the content in complex matrices (powders, creams, capsules)
- Meet regulatory or quality requirements during product development
