Licorice Extract
Common Name(s): Licorice triterpenoid,glycyrrhetinic acid active,anti-inflammatory brightening
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Reduces skin inflammation and redness through 11ฮฒ-hsd inhibition (cortisol-amplifying mechanism), inhibits tyrosinase and melanogenesis for brightening, and provides antioxidant protection from the triterpenoid phenol system.
Why It's Used: One of few botanicals with documented cortisone-amplifying anti-inflammatory mechanism โ 11ฮฒ-hsd inhibition elevates local cortisol concentration in skin tissue, providing a pharmaceutical-level anti-inflammatory effect without direct corticosteroid application.
How It Works: Glycyrrhetinic acid inhibits 11ฮฒ-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11ฮฒ-hsd) โ the enzyme that converts active cortisol to inactive cortisone in peripheral tissues. inhibition elevates local skin cortisol, amplifying the glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory response. simultaneously, glabridin (a flavonoid in licorice) inhibits tyrosinase for brightening.
Typically Found In: Anti-inflammatory,soothing,brightening
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ antioxidant
Secondary Functions: Free radical scavenging,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.01%โ2%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived extract or synthetic.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; well-tolerated.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Vitamin c,vitamin e,ferulic acid,spf,other antioxidants
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
11ฮฒ-hsd inhibition by glycyrrhetinic acid was first documented in the context of licorice consumption causing pseudoaldosteronism โ the same enzyme inhibition applied topically provides localised cortisol amplification for cosmetic anti-inflammatory activity without systemic effects.
