Licorice Extract

Description

Harness the brightening and calming power of Licorice Extract, the sweet root that evens tone and soothes skin, expertly blended into your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, or handmade soap. Drawn from Glycyrrhiza glabra, licorice delivers two families of actives: brightening flavonoids (glabridin and liquiritin), shown in clinical study to visibly improve stubborn dark patches, and steroid-free soothing compounds (glycyrrhizate and glycyrrhetinic acid) that calmed eczema-prone skin in a controlled trial. In your custom lotion, cream, face oil, serum, or moisturizer, it fades dark spots and post-acne marks, evens tone without bleaching, and calms redness and itch. In your custom shampoo, conditioner, or scalp serum, it relieves an itchy, flaky, or irritated scalp and helps balance oil. Ideal for every skin and hair type, it excels for uneven, sensitive, and acne-prone skin as a gentle, hydroquinone-free brightener, and it pairs beautifully with Niacinamide, Aloe Leaf Extract, and vitamin C. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for a bright, calm experience from face to scalp. Caution: Patch test recommended for sensitive skin or scalp; use daily sunscreen when targeting dark spots.
