How Licorice Root Extract Can Help Your Skin

Licorice Root Extract is one of the oldest remedies in history, and is a staple must have ingredient in the Japanese Geisha skin care routine. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, it is sourced from the root of Glycyrrhiza Glabra plant, and acts as a skin brightening ingredient ideal for pigmentation and has the ability to minimise discolouration, whilst promoting an even tone complexion.


The Licorice Root Extract brightens and promotes even skin via naturally inhibiting and blocking tyrosinase, the enzyme which forms melanin, resulting in the reduction of dark spots, hyperpigmentation and discolouration appearance. This extract also carries licochalcone, a powerful molecule that possesses both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Containing a powerful chain of antioxidants, Licorice Root Extract assists in shielding the skin from free radical damage and promotes a healthy skin glow.


Licorice Root Extract has skin-soothing properties and is effective in improving the look of uneven skin tone. Find it in our Na Pali Pure Anti-Aging Serum.
