Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra, is a plant belonging to the Leguminosae family, from whose root a sweet juice is extracted. Licorice is used in herbal medicine, in Chinese medicine, in the preparation of cosmetics, and in many other fields. Licorice extract has an anti-inflammatory effect exerted by some active ingredients present in licorice itself, including glycyrrhizin. This precious extract is used in cosmetics thanks to its wrinkle reduction action, but it is also particularly useful for treating hyperpigmentation associated with photo-aged skin. It also has emollient, refreshing and soothing properties on both skin and scalp, which is why it is a highly appreciated active ingredient in products to combat sensitive and irritated skin with itching and flaking.
