All Skin TypesSun Damaged

Licorice Root is a multi-functional botanical, whose chief components include the glycosides - glycyrrhizin and glycyrrizinic acid, triterpene saponins and flavonoids. Recent research indicates Licorice Root Extract shows promise as a soothing ingredient for the relief of eczema. Studies have shown it may be of benefit in skin lightening as it contains liquiritin and isoliquertin - flavonoids containing glycosides which induce skin lightening by dispersing melanin pigment and enhancing more even pigment distribution.
