Licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a well-known botanical active widely used in skincare for its soothing and brightening properties. It has been shown to help reduce uneven pigmentation and the appearance of dark spots by influencing melanin production pathways, including the inhibition of tyrosinase activity.
This ingredient is also recognized for its strong anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for calming redness, irritation, and discomfort in sensitive or reactive skin. Its bioactive compounds, such as glabridin and glycyrrhizin, contribute to its skin-soothing effects.
In addition, licorice root extract provides antioxidant protection by helping to neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure and environmental stressors. This helps support the skin’s natural defense system and maintain a more balanced, healthier-looking complexion over time.
