    What Makes Licorice Root So Powerful?

    To understand how to use licorice root for skincare needs, you should get a brief introduction on what makes this unique plant so therapeutic.

    Glycyrrhizin

    Licorice root produces gel-like saponins named glycyrrhizin. This saponin secretes the reason for the sweet stalk’s sugary flavor, glycyrrhizic acid. You’ll see this word pop up later as it’s associated with many of the root’s therapeutic properties.

    Liquiritin

    This is a glucose molecule derived from a common compound in plants known as liquiritigenin. Liquiritin has strong antioxidant properties that make licorice root an effective preventative part of your skincare regimen.

    Licochalcone

    There are over 300 polyphenols that make licorice root for skin a sought after ingredient. One important phenol is licochalcone. It’s known to reduce skin irritation. In fact, licochalcone is a common ingredient in many over-the-counter products including Eucerin

    Skin Transformative Powers Of Licorice Root

    Now that you know the major players, let’s look at how licorice root can benefit your skin . Here are the top three benefits of licorice root when it comes to skin health.

    Licorice Root To Target Hyperpigmentation

    Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that is caused by excess melanin production. Hyperpigmentation is triggered by many factors, including your body’s own reaction to inflammation taking place on the inside. Everything from excess sun exposure, shifting hormones to surgery and pregnancy can cause excess melanin production. When this happens, the affected areas tend to get darker.

    Studies have found that the skin lightening compound found in licorice root called liquiritin can help lighten these areas. Further research confirmed that both liquiritin and licochalcone inhibit the enzyme known as tyrosinase. When this enzyme reacts with the amino acid, tyrosine, it converts the protein to melanin.

    Using licorice root extracts for skin care helps the slow down in the production of darker pigments. In turn, this will lessen hyperpigmentation. And one of the main advantages of licorice root over conventional skin lighteners is that there is no down time, photosensitivity or health risks, which are commonly associated with synthetics such as hydroquinone.

    Licorice Root To Soothe Sensitive Skin

    Another great use of licorice root for skincare needs is to soothe sensitive skin. Up to 20% of the root is comprised of glycyrrhizin, a triterpenoid saponin of licorice.

    When these triterpenoids come into contact with the skin, it triggers receptors that naturally cause steroid growth in the skin. Steroids help to decrease recovery time. This is especially true of conditions that increase skin sensitivity such as eczema and rosacea.

    Directions:

    Apply on cleansed face and gently dab in until absorbed. Wait for 3-5 minutes before layering on other skincare products. Wear sun cream during the day. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and seek medical attention.
