• Benchmark concept: high-content licorice-root-extract calming serum. A 79% licorice-extract positioning may be explored if the supplier can substantiate the raw-material basis and final-formula calculation.
• Build a licorice + chamomile + guaiazulene signature soothing complex; the reference concept also promotes a 30,000 ppm calming complex, subject to supplier formulation and claim substantiation.
• Preserve a transparent water-light texture with a subtle natural blue tint from the ingredient concept; avoid heavy artificial coloring.
• Pair soothing botanicals with beta-glucan, polyglutamic acid, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and betaine for layered hydration.
• Target quick absorption, low residue, and compatibility with daily multi-step skincare routines.
• Offer fragrance-free or low-allergen-fragrance options for sensitive-skin positioning; essential-oil-free development is recommended as a separate option.
• Recommended pack: 30 mL amber glass dropper bottle, white ribbed dropper, blank cobalt-blue label, optional matte folding carton.
• Commercial extensions: 30 mL standard, 50–60 mL value size, mini trial size, or matching soothing cream.
• Final INCI, percentages, color, stability, preservative system, safety testing, and cosmetic claims must be confirmed with the OEM/ODM manufacturer and target-market regulations.
