Licorice extract is a multifunctional botanical ingredient highly valued in dermocosmetic skincare. Known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and brightening properties, it targets redness, irritation, and pigmentation spots. Ideal for evening out the complexion and relieving discomfort, it's suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive.

Let’s take a closer look at this root-based active from Glycyrrhiza glabra, a true ally for reactive or pigment-prone skin.

  

 ORIGIN OF LICORICE EXTRACT 

Licorice is a medicinal plant primarily valued for its roots. The extract is obtained by macerating or extracting its key compounds — particularly glycyrrhizin and glabridin.

These molecules are well-known for their calming, anti-inflammatory, and pigment-regulating effects.

  

 BENEFITS OF LICORICE EXTRACT 

| Soothes and Calms

It reduces redness, burning sensations, and itching thanks to its gentle anti-inflammatory properties.

| Brightens Dark Spots

Glabridin inhibits tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin production, helping to even out skin tone and fade pigmentation.

| Antioxidant Protection

It shields the skin from environmental stress and oxidative damage.
