Ingredients Details
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (licorice) Root 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 11β-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 — 11β-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 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-hsd) — 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 – 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%–2%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; well-tolerated.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.

Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
11β-hsd inhibition by glycyrrhetinic acid was first documented in the context of licorice consumption causing pseudoaldosteronism — the same enzyme inhibition applied topically provides localised cortisol amplification for cosmetic anti-inflammatory activity without systemic effects.

Helianthus Annuus (sunflower) Seed Oil
Common Name(s): Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil,botanical oil,phytochemical active
