Licorice Root Extract

Glycyrrhiza glabra

An extract from the root of the licorice plant, used for centuries in both Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In skincare, licorice root is valued for its glabridin content — a potent isoflavonoid that helps manage melanin production — as well as its calming and skin-soothing glycyrrhizin.
