Glabridin is a potent, naturally derived skin-lightening ingredient extracted from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice plant). As a powerful flavonoid compound, it is celebrated for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and depigmentation properties, making it a star ingredient in premium skincare formulations.
Glabridin works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the key enzyme responsible for melanin production, helping to visibly reduce dark spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Its robust antioxidant activity also protects skin cells from UV-induced damage and environmental stressors, supporting long-term skin health and radiance.
Widely used in serums, face creams, masks, and sunscreens, Glabridin delivers noticeable skin-brightening and anti-aging benefits, making it an essential active for brands focused on brightening, pigmentation correction, and overall skin rejuvenation.

For optimal quality and efficacy, store Glabridin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, strong light, and heat sources. Proper storage helps preserve its potency, stability, and natural bioactive properties. When maintained under these recommended conditions, Glabridin has a shelf life of up to 24 months.
1. Skin Lightening & Anti-Pigmentation
Glabridin works by suppressing tyrosinase activity, effectively reducing melanin production. This helps fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, promoting a brighter, more radiant complexion over time.
2. Antioxidant Protection
With strong free radical scavenging ability, Glabridin protects the skin from UV damage and environmental stressors, preventing premature aging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Glabridin calms skin redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin types. It helps reduce inflammatory responses caused by external factors such as pollution or allergens.
4. Anti-Acne Support
By reducing sebum oxidation and inflammation, Glabridin contributes to clearer skin and helps prevent acne-related breakouts.
