Description
Derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice), Glycyrrhetinic Acid is a triterpenoid compound renowned for its exceptional anti – inflammatory, anti – allergic, and skin – soothing properties. As a key active ingredient in cosmetics, it effectively inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, reducing redness, swelling, and irritation caused by environmental stressors or skin conditions. Its antioxidant capacity helps neutralize free radicals, preventing oxidative damage and premature aging. Glycyrrhetinic Acid also exhibits antibacterial effects, making it beneficial for acne – prone skin. Widely used in creams, lotions, serums, and masks, it provides comprehensive care for sensitive, inflamed, or aging skin, enhancing skin barrier function and promoting overall skin health.
