Glabridin is an isoflavanone-type active compound naturally found in licorice root ( Glycyrrhiza glabra ). It is widely used for its antioxidant, skin-brightening (tyrosinase-inhibiting), and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a strategic ingredient in:
- Cosmetic formulations with depigmenting or anti-aging properties
- Dietary supplements dedicated to skin beauty or digestive comfort
- Standardized licorice extracts for nutraceutical or dermatological applications
Dosage objectives
Glabridine testing is essential for:
- Standardize licorice extracts into active ingredients
- Check the compliance of cosmetic or nutraceutical products intended for skin lightening
- Accurately quantify the content in complex matrices (powders, creams, capsules)
- Meeting regulatory or quality requirements during product development
Proposed analytical methods
- HPLC-DAD: a common method for botanical extracts rich in polyphenols
- LC-MS/MS: the reference method for precise quantification in complex or dilute matrices
Compatible matrices
- Raw or purified licorice extracts
- Active cosmetic ingredients or finished formulations (creams, serums, masks)
- Dietary supplements in powder, capsule or drink form
- Plant-based raw materials sourced from the medicinal plant sector
