Liquorice

Liquorice CO₂-to extract with MCT oil is a standardized botanical extract obtained from the dried root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis (liquorice) by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction with a small amount of ethanol. The extract is then diluted with coconut MCT oil to a precisely defined content of bioactive substances. It has a brown colour, a viscous consistency and a mild, slightly sweet taste typical of liquorice. Thanks to its content of isoflavanones , it has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, while it does not contain glycyrrhizin – the substance responsible for the characteristic sweetness and potential undesirable effects. It is a CO₂-to (total extract) – a complete extract that contains the full spectrum of lipophilic components of the root, including isoflavanones, coumarins, plant sterols and waxes. Type of extraction: Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (CO₂) with ethanol Designation: CO₂-to – total extract (complete extract with all lipid components) D/E ratio: 13 – 17 kg dried liquorice root per 1 kg extract Composition: 50 % CO₂ extract from the root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis , 50 % MCT oil (from coconut) Standardized content: min. 8.5 % isoflavanones (licoricidin and licorisoflavan A), 2 – 4 % ethanol Key benefits Antibacterial action – inhibits the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity and helps maintain a healthy microflora. Anti-inflammatory effects – soothes irritated skin and mucous membranes, suitable for products for sensitive skin.
