Licorice root Powder is extracted from the roots of the licorice plant. This natural extract has been used for centuries in Chinese medication to treat skin ailments of all degrees.
It was in the 1990s when Japanese scientists discovered glabridin, a compound present in the extract of licorice. This compound is known to absorb the UVA and the UVB rays and in turn acts as strong skin whitening agents.
In the early 1990’s the whitening compound, glabridin, was first identified by Japanese scientists. Glabridin protects the skin by absorbing harmful UVA and UVB rays. Clinical trials have shown that it is effective in treating hyperpigmentation (including dark spots) and it can be used to reverse the damage caused by acne scars. Glabridin has the capacity to inhibit the activity of the tyrosinase enzyme by as much as 50% without damaging skin cells. Licorice extract has anti-inflammatory properties that help to calm the skin and reduce skin irritation and redness.

Licorice Root is said to have amazing soothing properties and the extract can be used for topical applications. It is used in skin care formulations to soothe and relax dry and tired skin. It contains powerful antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals from external environmental (sun, pollution) and internal (e.g., energy production) stressors.
