Glycyrrhiza glabra (also known as Liquorice) is beneficial for healing ulcers it treats symptoms of itchy and flaky skin (eczema). Helps in diminish the appearance of dark under-eye circles, discoloration and age spots. Plant extract that has skin-soothing properties. In addition, licorice root may be effective in improving the look of an uneven skin tone. One of its components, known as glabridin, is a potent antioxidant and skin-soothing ingredient, which is why licorice often shows up in products meant for sensitive, reddened skin.

Liquorice was found in King Tut’s tomb in Egypt, was used by the Japanese Geishas and is a fundamental herb in traditional Chinese medicine. Known best to us as a tasty treat or an additive for tea or tobacco, Liquorice has been used for 4,000 years and boasts a ton of health and skincare benefits. Licorice extract contains concentrations of flavonoids, such as glabridin, that equip the skin with antioxidant properties. Antioxidants work to neutralize free radicals present in the environment. This may constitute an inhibitory effect on the amount of oxidative stress found on the skin. Consequently, the use of licorice extract for skin may inadvertently enable a soothing effect that can help alleviate problematic skin. Furthermore, licorice extract constituents – glabridin and liquiritin- may also utilize their oxidative scavenging abilities to promote skin radiance. The topical application of skincare products infused with licorice extract can help to provide a healthy glow as well as enhance the skin’s overall quality and appearance.

Licorice is derived from the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra meaning “sweet root” in Greek. The plant is a legume, much like a bean, and is native to Africa, Southern Europe and parts of Asia including India. The secret to reaping the sought-after health benefits lies within the plant’s root. Liquorice root extract is removed from the plant and melted through a boiling process that absorbs much of the water. The two important parts extracted from the root are Glycyrrhizin acid, which is 50 times sweeter than sugar and gives Liquorice it’s notable flavor, and Glabridin, which hosts a ton of medicinal purposes, like helping treat hepatitis, stomach ulcers and congestion. Together, these enzymes combine to form a super syrup or powder that’s also great for natural skincare.

If you suffer from hyperpigmentation, a condition where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to extra melanin deposits in those spots, Liquorice can restore the skin to a lighter color when applied daily to the darkened area. Today, the leading treatment for hyperpigmentation and skin spots is a chemical called hydroquinone. Licorice is an exciting all-natural treatment option that offers a brilliant alternative for those looking to avoid putting a chemical on their skin. If you are suffering from melasma (known as the mask of pregnancy), it’s a great natural remedy to help lighten the skin after delivery.

Dark spots and age spots caused by the sun can wreak havoc on the body by giving away your age. Applying Liquorice in topical form can help bring your skin to a smooth, lighter tone thanks to the Glabridin that stops the skin from darkening after sun exposure. And since sun damage is a primary cause of discoloration of the skin, Liquorice also contains UV blocking enzymes that help protect you from future damage.

When injuries from falls or other mishaps leave a scar on your body, it can take years before they fully match your normal skin tone. Liquorice helps to speed up the process by blocking the melanin production and evening out the skin tone of dark scars. Though, it won’t help much on light-colored ones.

No one wants to have crow’s feet but sun damage can bring them on faster than you can say sunscreen. Thankfully, UV blocking enzymes help to ward off sun damage that can cause wrinkles to accelerate at an unwanted rate. Liquorice is also full of antioxidants that help block free radicals and keep your skin from aging prematurely. Your skin is your most important organ. From the day you are born, it guards you against the impurities of the daily grind. You are constantly bombarded with UVB rays, pollution, and other damaging free radicals. It’s imperative that you add as many natural beauty products to your daily routine as possible. You want to make sure you treat your skin with the utmost of care and that’s why adding natural alternatives, like licorice root extract, is great for treating common skin ailments and helping you have a beauty routine that is 100 percent good for you.

Benefits of Licorice Extract for skin

• Minimizes the production of tyrosinase to combat discoloration: The production of melanin (AKA pigment or color) is a complicated process, but at the heart of the matter is an enzyme known as tyrosinase. Licorice extract inhibits the production of tyrosinase, in turn inhibiting the production of dark spots.
• Removes excess melanin: Licorice extract brightens the skin in another way, too. It contains liquiritin, an active compound that helps to disperse and remove existing melanin in the skin. In other words, not only can it help prevent new spots from forming, it can also fade existing ones.
• Acts as a potent antioxidant: Like many other plant-based extracts, licorice contains a flavonoid, an antioxidant-rich component that decreases reactive oxygen species, which both age and discolor the skin.
• Offers anti-inflammatory benefits: While the flavonoid is anti-inflammatory in and of itself, there’s yet another molecule, licochalcone A, which inhibits two inflammatory markers that trigger the inflammatory cascade.
• May help control oil production in the skin: Though this isn’t one of the more commonly agreed-upon benefits, there’s some evidence to suggest that that licochalcone A compound may have the added benefit of regulating oil production. It’s why licorice extract is often used in Ayurvedic medicine as a dandruff treatment.

Benefits of Niacinamide for skin

Niacinamide 4% increases the water content in the skin and acts as a moisturizing agent. Niacinamide, also called nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B-3, an essential nutrient. A B-3 deficiency can lead to disorders of the skin, kidneys, and brain. Taking niacinamide can help prevent B-3 deficiency. And there’s much more to this nutrient, especially when it comes to general skin health. Topical niacinamide may help treat certain skin conditions, including acne and eczema.

Overall, niacinamide can help build proteins in the skin and lock in moisture to prevent environmental damage. Individual benefits include:

• Immunity. Niacinamide helps build keratin, a type of protein that keeps your skin firm and healthy.
• Lipid barrier. Niacinamide can help your skin grow a ceramide (lipid) barrier, which can, in turn, helps retain moisture. This is beneficial for all skin types, especially if you have eczema or mature skin.
• Minimizes redness and blotchiness. Niacinamide reduces inflammation, which may help ease redness from eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
• Minimizes pore appearance. Keeping skin smooth and moisturized may have a secondary benefit — a natural reduction in pore size over time.
• Regulates oil. The benefits of moisture retention aren’t just for those with dry skin types. Niacinamide can also help regulate the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce and prevent your glands from going into overdrive.
• Protects against sun damage. Niacinamide can concurrently rebuild healthy skin cells while also protecting them from damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
• Treats hyperpigmentation. Some research has found 4 percent of niacinamide concentrations can be helpful in lightening dark spots. Benefits were seen after four weeks, but not beyond two months. This benefit may be due to increased collagen production.
• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. Research has also found that the same concentration was helpful in reducing some signs of sun damage that come with aging. This includes fine lines and wrinkles.
• Protects against oxidative stress. Niacinamide 4% helps build cells in the skin while also protecting them from environmental stresses, such as sunlight, pollution, and toxins.
• Treats acne. Niacinamide may be helpful for severe acne, especially inflammatory forms like papules and pustules. Over time, you may see fewer lesions and improved skin texture.
