Ingredients Details
Licorice Extract
Common Name(s): Licorice triterpenoid,glycyrrhetinic acid active,anti-inflammatory brightening
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Reduces skin inflammation and redness through 11ฮฒ-hsd inhibition (cortisol-amplifying mechanism), inhibits tyrosinase and melanogenesis for brightening, and provides antioxidant protection from the triterpenoid phenol system.
Why It's Used: One of few botanicals with documented cortisone-amplifying anti-inflammatory mechanism โ 11ฮฒ-hsd inhibition elevates local cortisol concentration in skin tissue, providing a pharmaceutical-level anti-inflammatory effect without direct corticosteroid application.
How It Works: Glycyrrhetinic acid inhibits 11ฮฒ-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11ฮฒ-hsd) โ the enzyme that converts active cortisol to inactive cortisone in peripheral tissues. inhibition elevates local skin cortisol, amplifying the glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory response. simultaneously, glabridin (a flavonoid in licorice) inhibits tyrosinase for brightening.
