Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract

Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract

Licorice Root Extract, derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra, has been treasured for centuries in both Eastern and Western traditions and is sometimes referred to as the “King of Herbal Medicines.”

In skincare, Licorice Root Extract is especially valued for its brightening and soothing properties. It helps inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and discoloration caused by sun exposure.

Licorice Root Extract is often incorporated into brightening skincare formulas alongside Vitamin C derivatives, making it a valuable botanical ingredient for promoting a clearer, more even-toned, luminous complexion.

With its remarkable history and skin-enhancing properties, Licorice Root Extract beautifully combines the wisdom of traditional botanicals with modern skincare science.
