Licorice root is a type of plant with a very fragrant aroma often used as an ingredient in pastries and candies, and is used to treat acne and effectively fade dark spots on the face. Today, let’s explore in detail the benefits of licorice root and licorice root extract with PEROMA.
INTRODUCTION TO LICORICE ROOT
Licorice root is an integral part of the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra), a herbaceous plant originating from the Mediterranean region and Asia. Licorice root is dark brown or yellowish in color, has a distinctive fragrance, and is used in many medical and cosmetic applications.
Licorice root has a long, flat shape with many small branches. Its surface features prominent veins, and when cut crosswise, the central core in white color can be seen. Licorice root has a naturally sweet and unique taste, serving as a primary source of sweetness in many products such as chewing gum, candies, and other foods.
LICORICE ROOT EXTRACT AND ITS ROLE IN SKINCARE
Licorice root extract, in the form of a solution, is dark brown in color with a scent resembling that of licorice, soluble in water but insoluble in oil. It is preserved with Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate in small proportions, at temperatures ranging from 100°C to 25°C. Besides the aforementioned purposes, licorice root extract is also used to maintain hair color in dyed hair.
Licorice root extract is not only an excellent natural skin brightening agent but also helps reduce dark circles and areas of pigmentation caused by scars, etc. It is commonly used in skincare products such as moisturizing creams, lotions, hair conditioners, facial mists, toners, but not for lip care.
The primary components of licorice root extract include Glycerin, Water, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract. Research has shown its superior skin whitening effects, relieving itchy and sunburnt skin. Additionally, licochalcone in licorice helps control oil and is one of the best remedies for those suffering from oily, acne-prone skin. Extracted from licorice root, there are numerous remarkable benefits. Whitening baths not only effectively brighten the skin but also help reduce dark circles, scars on the skin, control oil, and treat acne, serving as an efficient solution for skincare.
Effectively treating acne
Licorice is an excellent herb for women. This plant has the ability to minimize side effects from spironolactone – a compound causing acne. According to a study and trial, 32 women were given spironolactone or licorice and spironolactone to determine the benefits of this plant. After the survey, most women were enthusiastic about the effective acne-fighting properties of licorice root.
Treating oily skin
Using licorice root reduces the activity of sebaceous glands on the skin. Licorice not only helps reduce the oiliness of your skin but also unclogs pores. Your acne will disappear. This excellent natural ingredient can reduce testosterone within two days, but it takes several weeks for pores to release sebum and dead skin cells.
Protecting the skin from sunlight
In addition to its role in reducing oily skin, licorice also protects the skin from darkening and pigmentation. A study has shown that licorice root has a protective effect against UV radiation. Therefore, licorice is widely used in skincare products. After two weeks of using licorice moisturizer, many people have reported significantly brighter skin due to the substantial reduction in free radicals produced by the skin.
Whitening the skin and reducing dark spots
An undeniable benefit of this special ingredient is skin whitening. According to beauty care experts, licorice root extract is one of the few natural plants known for its skin whitening properties.
Licorice root is confirmed to be an inhibitor of tyrosinase on the skin’s surface. Tyrosinase is an enzyme responsible for melanin production. This helps visibly lighten your skin tone. Moreover, this “miracle” also successfully inhibits the increase of pigmentation due to sunlight exposure (UVB rays), preventing the skin from darkening. It also effectively reduces inflammation caused by acne.
