Description
Licorice root extract (alcohol-free) contains both glycyrrhizin and glabridin. It is widely known that Glycyrrhizin is anti-inflammatory, and when used topically, it may help to reduce any skin redness or irritation. It is also known as an antioxidant so it protects the skin from free radicals. Glabridin may cause skin lightening and reduces dark spots by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase which causes pigmentation.
We offer Licorice Root extract as a fluid in Glycerin, Zemea, Butylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol .*
Bio-Botanica® Inc. utilizes its proprietary Bio-Chelation® process to manufacture botanical extracts in combination with Zemea® for natural applications.
