Glycyrrhiza glabra, also known as licorice and sweetwood, is native to the Mediterranean and certain areas of Asia.  The primary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds found in Licorice Root are the glycosides - glycyrrhizin and glycyrrizinic acid, flavonoids, and saponins. Glycyrrhizin, a triterpenoid compound, accounts for the sweet taste of licorice root. This compound represents a mixture of potassium-calcium-magnesium salts of glycyrrhizic acid that varies within a 2-25 percent range. 18-beta-glycyrrhetinic acid is a
pentacyclic triterpenoid derivative of the beta-amyrin type obtained from the hydrolysis of glycyrrhizic acid.

18-Beta glycyrrhetinic acid exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-neoplastic properties, thus helping in improving the immunity of the skin. Recent research has demonstrated the powerful anti-inflammatory and hydrating characteristics of Licorice Root in the successful treatment of eczema. Topical licorice preparations have been used to sooth and heal skin eruptions such as psoriasis and herpetic lesions, atopic eczema, seborrhaeic dermatitis, pruritis vulvae or insect stings, UV-induced erythemas, burning sensations and sensations of heat. It naturally repairs, soothes and relieves sensitive and irritated skin, making it an ideal choice for personal care applications like skin care, body care, baby care and after shave/after sun products.

The product addresses broad spectrum concerns on skin care and has the band width and capabilities to meet expectations. Regular use should exhibit demonstrable results.
