Why Licorice Root is the Glow Secret You Need

Body

🌿What Is Licorice Root Extract? Licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a plant-derived powerhouse known for its ability to brighten dull skin and calm redness—naturally. Rich in glabridin and liquiritin, it targets hyperpigmentation while reducing inflammation, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

✨Brightens Without Harsh Acids Looking for a glow-up without the sting? Licorice root gently fades dark spots and melasma thanks to its melanin-inhibiting properties. Try Radiant Botanica Brightening Serum for a dose of glow without glycolic or synthetic additives.

🧖♀️Soothes and Strengthens Barrier Licorice root isn’t just for glow—it’s a skin-soother, too. Its anti-inflammatory benefits help reduce redness, rosacea, and irritation from environmental stress. For daily calm, Bloom Dew Toner layers in beautifully under SPF or makeup.

🌱Clean, Vegan, and Proven Safe Unlike some brightening agents, licorice root extract is EWG-safe and well-tolerated. That’s why it’s a favorite in clean formulations like VivaGlow Calm Cream—a gentle hydrator that won’t clog pores or disrupt your barrier.

🛍Pro Tip: Layer Wisely Pair licorice root serums with mineral sunscreen for faster results. It plays well with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and peptides, making it an easy fit in most routines.
