Licorice root extract, derived from the glycyrrhiza glabra plant, is a natural ingredient used in skincare for its skin-soothing, dark spot fading, and anti-aging properties. It contains glabridin, a potent antioxidant and skin-calming compound, making it suitable for sensitive and reddened skin. Licorice root extract also has anti-inflammatory properties and is used to treat skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, rosacea, and eczema. It may also help with skin brightening and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
