Licorice liquid extract, derived from the licorice plant's roots and rhizomes, has been traditionally utilised for its anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Benefits:
• Widely used for skin whitening.
• It soothes the skin. Also effective for inflamed skin. Glycyrrhetic acid and flavinoids provide antioxidant and regenerative effects.
• Heals damaged skin and hair. This product works by absorbing moisture from the air and retaining it within the skin's layers.
It enhances the skin's natural moisture retention, resulting in a more hydrated appearance. Provides a calming effect on the skin. We propose conducting small batch trials to find the appropriate dosage to produce the desired shade from the extract.
