Quality Control & Testing (What Comes with Every Batch)

For EU/US buyers, documentation and consistency are as important as assay %. We provide a complete QA package to support procurement, formulation, and compliance workflows.

Standard QA documentation (typical)

• COA (Certificate of Analysis) with assay, ID, and safety limits
• Specification sheet (technical & quality limits)
• SDS (Safety Data Sheet)
• Allergen statement (as applicable)
• Non-GMO statement (if applicable)
• Country of origin / traceability (as applicable)

Typical testing items (depends on grade)

• Identification: HPLC / fingerprint (or equivalent)
• Assay: Glabridin / DPG / Glycyrrhizic acid content
• Heavy metals: Pb/As/Cd/Hg
• Microbiology: TPC, yeast & mold, pathogens (as required)
• Residual solvents (for solvent extraction grades)
• Pesticide residues (when required by destination market)

Need third-party testing or custom limits for a key account? We can align batch release to your required panel.

Applications (Cosmetics & Supplements)

Cosmetics & Personal Care (EU/US)

High-content licorice ingredients are commonly selected for:

• Brightening / uneven tone appearance (cosmetic positioning)
• Soothing / sensitive skin (especially DPG)
• Redness-prone skin support (cosmetic positioning)
• After-sun / post-procedure cosmetic concepts (claims must remain cosmetic)

Formulation guidance (general)

• Choose glabridin-standardized grades for appearance-brightening concepts.
• Choose DPG for soothing and sensitive-skin positioning.
• Ask for solubility data and recommended carriers for your base (water gel, emulsion, serum).

We do not provide medical claims. Final product claims and usage levels should be validated by your R&D and regulatory teams.

Dietary Supplements (Ingredient Supply)

Licorice extract is used in supplement ingredient supply chains for traditional botanical formulations. For EU/US markets, buyers typically evaluate:

• Standardization marker & assay stability (batch-to-batch)
• QA documentation (COA/SDS/traceability)
• Manufacturing controls aligned with dietary supplement cGMP expectations (US: 21 CFR Part 111 context)

Important safety note (must not be omitted in supplement pages):
Excessive intake of licorice constituents may not be suitable for everyone (e.g., people with certain health conditions or those taking specific medications). Supplement brands should ensure appropriate labeling, serving sizes, and risk communication per their regulatory counsel.

EU/US Compliance Notes (Procurement-Friendly)

For Cosmetics (EU focus)

EU cosmetic supply chains often require documentation readiness for:

• Ingredient traceability and safety assessment support
• Claims substantiation aligned to cosmetic claim principles (avoid drug-like claims)
• Supplier QA package (COA, specs, SDS)

For Dietary Supplements (US focus)

US buyers commonly expect suppliers to support manufacturing controls aligned to dietary supplement cGMP frameworks (commonly referenced under 21 CFR Part 111). This typically includes documented specifications, identity testing, and batch release controls.

We can support your internal vendor qualification process with standard QA documentation and batch consistency practices.

How to Source High-Content Licorice Extract (Buyer Checklist)

Use this checklist to avoid quality pitfalls and procurement delays:

1) Confirm the active marker

• Brightening concept → ask for Glabridin %
• Soothing concept → ask for DPG %
• Supplement botanical standardization → ask for Glycyrrhizic acid % and stability plan

2) Demand batch consistency

• Ask for 3 recent COAs to check variability
• Confirm retesting policy and retained samples

3) Verify identity testing

• HPLC/fingerprint ID (or equivalent) for adulteration risk reduction

4) Align safety limits to destination market

• Heavy metals, micro limits, residual solvents, pesticides (as required)

5) Documentation readiness

• COA + specs + SDS + origin/traceability statements
• Any buyer-specific templates (vendor onboarding)

6) Logistics & commercial terms

• MOQ, lead time, packaging, storage conditions
• Export documents and shipping options for EU/US

Yes. Each batch can be supplied with COA and specification documentation. Additional testing panels can be provided upon request.

Q2: What’s the difference between glabridin extract and dipotassium glycyrrhizate?
Glabridin-standardized extracts are often chosen for brightening/uneven tone appearance concepts, while dipotassium glycyrrhizate is widely used for soothing and sensitive-skin positioning.

Q3: Can you supply high-content grades for EU/US markets?
Yes. We can match grades and QA documentation to typical EU/US procurement requirements, depending on your intended application and specifications.

Q4: What testing do you run for heavy metals and microbiology?
Typical panels include heavy metals (Pb/As/Cd/Hg) and microbiology limits aligned to grade/application requirements. Details are listed on COA.

Q5: Do you support dietary supplement ingredient supply for the US?
We can support supplement ingredient procurement with documentation and quality controls aligned to dietary supplement manufacturing expectations. Final product compliance remains the responsibility of the brand/manufacturer and their regulatory counsel.
