Licorice Extract (succus liquiritiae) is the natural and concentrated juice

which is obtained in a system with the pressure by water and steam extraction of the licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.).

Azil Organic Licorice Extract

The main active component in the roots – glycyrrhizin – is a sweet glycoside.

Licorice extract is used in many industrial applications

for its flavouring, sweetening and/or debittering characteristics.

Licorice Extract is obtained from wild and naturally growing licorice roots,

from central Asia,

China and Mediterranean countries.

Depending on the origin of the raw material and the supply form,

the extract offers a versatile taste spectrum,

ranging from mild to sweet-aromatic, caramel-like,

bitter-sweet.

Benefits of Licorice Extract For Skin

Minimizes the production of tyrosinase to combat discoloration:

The production of melanin (AKA pigment or color) is a complicated process,

but at the heart of the matter is an enzyme known as tyrosinase.

Licorice extract inhibits the production of tyrosinase,

in turn inhibiting the production of dark spots.

Removes excess melanin:

Licorice extract brightens the skin in another way, too.

“It contains liquiritin, an active compound that helps to disperse and remove existing melanin in the skin,”

In other words,not only can it help prevent new spots from forming,

it can also fade existing ones.

Acts as a potent antioxidant:

Like many other plant-based extracts,

licorice contains a flavonoid,

an antioxidant-rich component that decreases reactive oxygen species,

which both age and discolor the skin.

Offers anti-inflammatory benefits:

While the flavonoid is anti-inflammatory in and of itself,

there’s yet another molecule,

licochalcone A,

which inhibits two inflammatory markers that trigger the inflammatory cascade.

May help control oil production in the skin:

Though this isn’t one of the more commonly agreed upon benefits,

One of the scientists says that there’s some evidence to suggest that that licochalcone

A compound may have the added benefit of regulating oil production.

It’s why licorice extract is often used in Ayurvedic medicine as a dandruff treatment.
