LICORICE EXTRACT

Licorice extract has many beneficial properties:

Skin Lightening: Licorice extract contains a compound called glabridin, which helps inhibit the production of melanin in the skin. This reduces the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone, providing a brightening effect.

Anti-inflammatory properties: Licorice extract has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that calm irritation and redness of the skin. It may be particularly beneficial for skin that is sensitive or prone to inflammatory reactions.

Antioxidant: Licorice extract contains antioxidant compounds, such as flavonoids, which help protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals and harmful environmental factors and thus help prevent the signs of premature aging and maintain the overall skin health.

Soothing effect: Licorice extract also has soothing properties and helps relieve skin irritations, including itching and mild inflammation.

Regulating sebum production: Certain compounds found in licorice extract have been shown to regulate the skin's sebum production. Very beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin, they help maintain sebum balance and reduce excessive shine.
