What is Licorice Root Extract?

Licorice Root Extract is a plant-derived ingredient known for its powerful skin-brightening and anti-inflammatory properties. Extracted from the root of Glycyrrhiza Glabra, it has been widely used in skincare to target pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone.

Rich in active compounds like glabridin, it helps improve skin clarity while being gentle enough for sensitive skin.

At From Negative, Licorice Root Extract is used to visibly reduce discoloration while maintaining skin calmness and balance.

How Licorice Root Extract works

Licorice Root Extract works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for melanin production, helping prevent excess pigmentation. At the same time, its anti-inflammatory properties calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation often associated with pigmentation and acne marks. Over time, this leads to a clearer and more even complexion.

Melanin inhibition — prevents dark spots

Anti-inflammatory — calms redness
