Licorice

Licorice root is a natural botanical extract known for its calming and brightening properties. In skincare, it helps reduce redness, soothe irritation, and fade dark spots or pigmentation. It's a well-tolerated ingredient for nearly all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin.

Licorice root has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps brighten dull skin, fade pigmentation, and calm irritation. It also supports barrier repair, making it a great choice for treating sensitivity, rosacea, or post-acne marks.

Yes! Licorice root is especially suitable for sensitive and reactive skin. It soothes and protects without irritation, and pairs well with other calming ingredients like centella asiatica or brightening actives like niacinamide.

Licorice root is often found in toners, essences, serums, and moisturizers. Apply it after cleansing and toning, before your final cream. It’s especially useful in routines focused on brightening and redness reduction.
