Licorice Oleo Extract Oil typically contains glycyrrhizin which is a potassium or calcium salt of glycyrrhizinic acid. Glycyrrhizin (Glycyrrhizinic acid) is an extremely sweet glycoside that foams in water. It is said to be 50 to 200 times sweeter than sugar, hence the sweet taste associated with licorice root. Glycyrrhizinic acid is a glycoside of a pentacyclic triterpene carboxylic acid, and it functions as a whitener, which may gently lighten the skin. As a cosmeceutical, licorice also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, which can help sooth irritated inflamed epithelium. Natural extract of licorice roots (glycyrrhiza glabra) dissolved in a base of safflower oil which contains 71.0 – 84.0% of linoleic acid C18:2. Licorice is native to the mediterranean region. Contains 20% of extract.
