Licorice Root Extract- Liquid

Licorice Root Extract is obtained from the roots and rhizomes of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, Licorice Root has a long history of use as an anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory. It’s been used extensively in Europe and the US as a soothing ingredient in cough suppressants and is often used in Traditional Chinese medicine as an herbal healing agent.

Licorice Root is a multi-functional botanical, whose chief components include the glycosides glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhizic acid, triterpene saponins, and flavonoids. Recent research indicates Licorice Root Extract shows promise as a soothing ingredient for the relief of eczema. Studies have shown it may be of benefit in skin-lightening products as it contains liquiritin and isoliquertin, flavonoid-containing glycosides that induce skin lightening by dispersing melanin pigment and enhancing more even pigment distribution.
