Why Organic?

Important: Why is it important that our Licorice Oil be certified organic? It guarantees that you are getting a product that is free of additives, chemicals, and preservatives. Buying organic Licorice Oil ensures you get the real thing at its best!

Our organically crafted Licorice Oil (also called Liquorice Oil) is produced by low-temperature maceration (solar-infusion) of the dried stoloniferous roots of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant in organic Sunflower Oil to extract its lipid-soluble components. The licorice plant is a herbaceous perennial legume native to the Middle East, southern Europe, and parts of Asia, such as India.

REPORTED BENEFITS AND USES

For centuries, Licorice root has been used to treat a wide variety of inflammatory dermatologic conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, contact dermatitis, and other conditions characterized by inflammation and itch. Glycyrrhizin, a triterpenoid saponin in Licorice, has strong anti-inflammatory activity similar to that of cortisol and other steroids. When these triterpenoids come into contact with the skin, they trigger receptors that naturally cause steroid growth in the skin.

Hyperpigmentation and dark spots are common skin conditions caused by an increase in melanin production due to the enzyme tyrosinase. When this happens, the affected areas tend to get darker. Glabridin, an active ingredient in Licorice Oil, has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory effects and inhibit Tyrosinase, thereby stopping melanin production. Liquiritin is another active ingredient that does not inhibit tyrosinase but helps disperse and remove melanin and other pigments in the skin. Over time, Liquiritin helps improve overall skin tone and clarity by breaking down melanin.

Also, the presence of Licochalcone is ideal for individuals with oily skin because Licochalcone has been shown to control oil content on the skin. Skin-care products containing Licorice Oil can help alleviate the discomfort and inflammation associated with sunburn. Licorice Root Oil is said to have soothing properties and is widely used in skincare formulations to calm and relax dry, tired skin. Because of these calming properties, Licorice Root Oil is also often incorporated into serums.
