Liquorice Root Glycerite is an alcohol-free botanical extract made from peeled Glycyrrhiza glabra root in a base of vegetable glycerine and purified water. This water-soluble extract is used in calming, clarifying and brightening-style skincare formulations that support the appearance of comfortable, clear and more even-toned skin. It contains naturally occurring liquorice root constituents, including glycyrrhizin, and is suitable for adding to the water phase or cool-down phase of compatible cosmetic formulas. It is a concentrated formulation ingredient, not a finished skincare product intended for undiluted use.
♡ Why we love it: This glycerite offers the traditional skincare benefits of liquorice root in a gentle, alcohol-free format. Its water-soluble base makes it easy to incorporate into serums, gels, toners, masks and lotions for sensitive-feeling or uneven-looking skin.
