Licorice root extract is a bioactive botanical used for both tone-evening and soothing support.
Compounds such as glabridin have demonstrated tyrosinase-inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activity in experimental skin models, which explains why licorice appears in pigmentation-focused formulas. The exact effect depends on which licorice fraction and actives are present.
