PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Licorice Extract is a botanical skincare ingredient obtained from the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a plant widely used in cosmetic formulations designed for soothing, brightening and skin-conditioning care.
Licorice root naturally contains a range of phytochemicals, including flavonoids and other antioxidant compounds that make the extract valuable in modern facial-care and body-care formulations.
In brightening skincare products, Licorice Extract is commonly incorporated to support a more radiant and even-looking complexion, making it suitable for formulations intended for dull or uneven-looking skin.
Its soothing properties also make it particularly useful in gentle skincare products designed for sensitive-feeling, dry or stressed skin.
Licorice Extract can complement other cosmetic actives such as Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid, allowing formulators to develop multifunctional brightening and moisturizing systems.
It is suitable for facial serums, moisturizers, creams, lotions, masks and other premium skincare products where skin comfort, antioxidant support and improved skin appearance are desired.
Its combination of botanical origin, soothing performance and skin-tone-support benefits makes Licorice Extract an attractive ingredient for modern premium skincare formulations.
