Glycyrrhetinic Acid

GLYCYRRHETINIC ACID

About this ingredient

A pentacyclic triterpenoid compound derived from licorice root that acts as a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. It reduces skin irritation, soothes sensitive skin, and helps calm redness and inflammation. Glycyrrhetinic acid is particularly valued in skincare for its ability to strengthen the skin barrier and provide soothing benefits without the sweetness or other constituents of whole licorice extract.
