INCI: Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract
Soothing botanical support for brighter, calmer, and more even-looking skin.
What Is Licorice Root Extract?
Licorice Root Extract is derived from the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a botanical with a long history of traditional use and an established place in modern skincare.
The root naturally contains a complex range of botanical compounds, including flavonoids and other constituents valued for their soothing and antioxidant properties.
In cosmetic formulations, Licorice Root Extract is particularly useful in products designed to support skin comfort while improving the appearance of dullness and uneven-looking tone.
Benefits
Licorice Root Extract helps soothe and condition the skin while contributing antioxidant support. It is also valued in skincare formulations designed to promote a brighter, more balanced-looking complexion.
These characteristics make it especially appropriate for delicate eye-area skin, where visible dullness, uneven tone, dehydration, and signs of fatigue can affect the overall appearance of the eyes.
Licorice Root + Visible Radiance
Licorice Root Extract is frequently incorporated into skincare designed to improve the appearance of uneven tone and lack of radiance.
Rather than exfoliating the skin, it provides botanical support within formulas focused on creating a brighter and more even-looking complexion. This makes it useful in treatments where visible radiance is a goal but aggressive resurfacing is not.
Licorice Root + Soothing Support
Licorice Root is also valued for its soothing characteristics, making it particularly useful in formulations created for delicate or stressed-looking skin.
In an eye serum, this allows the extract to complement hydrating and conditioning ingredients while helping maintain a comfortable, well-cared-for skin appearance.
Licorice Root + Antioxidant Care
Everyday environmental exposure can contribute to oxidative stress, which over time can influence the visible appearance of skin tone, texture, and radiance.
The naturally occurring botanical compounds found in Licorice Root contribute antioxidant support within a complete skincare formulation. This allows the extract to complement other antioxidant botanicals rather than functioning as the formula's only source of antioxidant care.
Licorice Root + Delicate Eye-Area Skin
The skin surrounding the eyes is thin and delicate and can readily show visible signs of fatigue, dryness, and uneven-looking tone.
Licorice Root Extract is particularly well suited to this area because it combines soothing and conditioning properties with support for a brighter, more even-looking appearance.
When combined with hydration-focused ingredients and targeted cosmetic actives, it becomes part of a multi-dimensional approach to maintaining a refreshed and healthy-looking eye area.
Licorice Root + Other Botanicals
In Pure Intox Peptide Eye Serum, Licorice Root Extract works alongside Ginkgo Biloba, Gotu Kola, Green Tea, Cucumber, and Saffron Stem Cells.
These botanicals provide complementary antioxidant, soothing, conditioning, and radiance-supportive properties while the serum's peptides and hydration-focused ingredients address other aspects of the delicate eye area.
Why We Use Licorice Root Extract
At Pure Intox, Licorice Root Extract is incorporated into Peptide Eye Serum to provide botanical support for skin comfort, antioxidant care, and a brighter, more even-looking eye area.
It works alongside Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Hyaluronic Acid, Saffron Stem Cells, mushroom ferments, and complementary botanical extracts to support hydration, smoothness, firmness, and a refreshed-looking appearance.
This layered approach allows each ingredient to contribute a specific function within the complete eye-care formula.
