Product Description
Glabridin is a flavonoid from licorice root, sold at about 40% or 98%. It is the marker used in skin-brightening formulas, not the sweet-tasting glycyrrhizic acid.
Oil-soluble grades go into creams and serums. A 98% powder is a small active dose; a 40% grade needs more mass and brings more colour.
When buying, set the percent, confirm oil solubility, and do not accept a glycyrrhizic COA.

Applications
Oil Phase
Glabridin prefers oil. Do not drop it into a water phase and expect it to dissolve.
Not the Sweet Saponin
Glycyrrhizic acid will not meet a glabridin HPLC spec.
Serums
Keep it in the oil phase. 98% needs less mass and shows less colour than 40%.
Not a Sweetener Capsule
Oral sweetening briefs want glycyrrhizic acid, not glabridin.
