Licorice root extract (Liquid)

Licorice Root Extract Liquid is a botanical active derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra. It is one of the most widely used plant extracts in skincare formulations due to its skin-brightening, soothing, antioxidant, and skin-conditioning properties.

Rich in naturally occurring compounds such as glabridin, liquiritin, and flavonoids, Licorice Root Extract helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, promotes a brighter complexion, and supports healthy-looking skin. It is commonly incorporated into brightening serums, facial creams, toners, masks, cleansers, and anti-aging products.

Its gentle nature makes it suitable for formulations designed for sensitive, dry, and mature skin.
