Liquiritin is a flavone glycoside compound primarily isolated from the roots of the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra). It is widely used in the cosmetic and skincare industry due to its skin-brightening properties. It helps reduce hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production, making it effective in treating dark spots and uneven skin tone. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities also support its use in formulations designed for sensitive or aging skin. Additionally, liquiritin has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects, showing promise in supporting cognitive health and possibly aiding in the management of neurodegenerative conditions. It is also utilized in traditional herbal preparations for its soothing and detoxifying properties.
